According to Indiana's State Association of Food Banks, one in seven Indiana residents suffers from some form of food insecurity.
Ensuring IU South Bend students are not a part of this statistic is the focus of the Titans Food Pantry.
Who are we?
Started as a community initiative by Anne Drake in 2015, The Titan's Food Pantry is dedicated helping IU South Bend students and the community at large meet their nutritional needs. Titans Feeding Titans mean that this program is staffed, operated and supported by IU South Bend students and staff.
Who can use the pantry?
Our primary focus is on the student body of IU South Bend; however, we are open to any member of the community in need. Wheather you need a quick snack or to supplement a full meal we are here to help fill in the gap. If you are on campus and hungry come see us we will not turn anyone away.
What can the pantry provide?
The Titan Food Panty has a varied selection of nutritional ingredients and snack foods to choose from, though the selection varies depending on what items are donated or shopped from the Northern Indiana Food Bank. Our future goal is to have a weekly post on our home blog to help provide current inventory. However, wait there’s more; we also have a small selection of paper and hygiene products and some donated clothing.
I am not hungry but want to help.
Not hungry? No problem. We always need donations. There are several ways to help.
1. This is the big one, SPREAD THE WORD. The more people that know about Titans Feeding Titans the more we can help.
2. The standard line for all food drive nonperishable, i.e. the food has a very long
shelf life before it goes bad, foods of any sort. You can place your donations in
any of our donation bins located throughout campus.
3. Donate your time. If you are interested in helping, you can contact Anne Drake in the Academic Support Services office or via email for more information.
