The ERAU Food Pantry offers an essential service by providing food and basic necessities to our DB students as needed. 100% of your generous donations go directly to providing non-perishable food items, fresh meal kits, fresh fruits/vegetables/juice/milk/ eggs, meal swipes for hot meals on campus, personal hygiene items and cleaning supplies.
Since the change in management in 2022, records show that there have been over 5000 visits to the pantry, with a large spike during holidays and long weekends. The pantry has served over 800 students (close to 10% of our student population). This need is for all students; the demographics we serve are divided between veterans, ROTC students, Athletes, International students, and those students who are using their scholarships and wages form their employment for tuition, academic endeavors, and other living expenses.
The need for students with food insecurities is even greater than the requests received so far, so expanded outreach efforts have resulted in more students reaching out. The students served have been skipping meals, not eating regularly, or eating unhealthy and non-nutritious foods on a regular basis. They have been also been lacking in personal hygiene items and basic cleaning supplies.
The Food Pantry, with the generous support of the ERAU community and thought partnership with Sodexo, have been successful in filling in the gaps and providing the basic services our student need to thrive.
