Cougar Cupboard Food & Essentials Pantry

The SIUE campus food pantry provides essential support for SIUE students, faculty, and staff facing food insecurity. The pantry strives to create a welcoming environment where community members can access nutritional resources with dignity.

What SIUE Offers

The food pantry provides a personalized shopping experience that respects privacy and convenience. The goal is to ensure that everyone at SIUE has access to quality food and supportive services when they need it most.

Why The Pantry Exists

• Food insecurity affects 37% of students who experience limited access to nutritious food.
• Housing challenges impact 37% of students who struggle with safe, consistent living situations.

These challenges affect real people in the SIUE campus community who need support to succeed in their academic and personal lives.
