Abstract: This report examines the first-ever national survey of campus food pantries, with 262 participating institutions, 217 of which currently operate pantries. We find that most campus pantries have a designated space on campus, serve exclusively the on-campus community, and are run by staff, students, and faculty. Very few campus pantries have sizable budgets, but most employ some paid staff, often undergraduate or graduate students, and volunteers provide additional support. Awareness of campus pantries may be limited because common outreach strategies are informal, but barriers to support are low--just 5% of campus pantries require proof of financial need. The most common challenges faced by campus pantries are insufficient funding, food, and volunteers.
