The mission of NGTC’s Food Pantry is to serve local students and employees who suffer from hunger and food insecurity within the NGTC community. The Office of Student Support and Engagement provides food for any NGTC student, faculty, or staff experiencing food insecurity.
A food pantry is different from a food bank in that it provides food directly to those who may not have enough food to eat. Food banks distribute food to food pantries. Food pantries can be either permanent or mobile locations. Food pantries are often the only source of free, healthy, and nutritious food in the neighborhood. They often provide other critical resources such as nutrition education, health screenings, seasonal food baskets, and back-to-school supplies.
Items can be dropped off at the Student Center Organization Room (lower level of the Carlton Building), Monday-Thursday, 9 AM – 5 PM

The food pantry is funded in part by the Embark Georgia Center, a project of the J.W. Fanning Institute for Leadership Development at The University of Georgia, that focuses on individuals in higher education who experience foster care and/or homelessness.
