TMA UMD Pantry Expansion Project

In partnership with TMA and with support from the Capital Area Food Bank, the UMD Campus Pantry is implementing a Campus Pantry Expansion Project to improve community food security. This project supports the ¿healthy futures¿ program area and targets low-income adults and youth. At UMD, 27% of students are food insecure (with another 18% at-risk) ¿ experiencing hunger and related challenges to their health and well-being. The VISTA member builds capacity for the Pantry to: 1) support campus and community food security through expanded physical operations, 2) increase the availability of emergency food through partnerships, grants and donations, and 3) offer learning opportunities at the Campus Pantry Teaching Kitchen.
