Raiders Helping Raiders Pantry
The lack of reliable access to sufficient quantities of affordable, nutritious food and hygiene items is common at colleges and universities across the country. A 2016 study by the National Conference of State Legislatures, found that 48 percent of U.S. college students reported facing food insecurities. When students are forced to pick between food or their education, the study found that both their health and academic performance suffered.
In partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank, Seminole State offers a formal food pantry at the Sanford/Lake Mary campus Student Center, room 271, that any currently enrolled student can visit and get non-perishable items as well as hygiene items.
Food bags are also available at other locations and campuses as follows:
- Sanford/Lake Mary Library: UP building (until 8:00 pm)
- Altamonte Springs Campus: ALT A-344D
- Heathrow Campus: HEA A-110
- Lee Campus at Oviedo: OVI F-102D
