Turning The Table On Hunger

Our mission at The Knights Table Pantry is to assist and empower all Queens College/CUNY students who are food insecure. The Knights Table Pantry was established in the fall of 2018 as part of Queens College’s commitment to reduce food insecurity among its student population. Food insecurity affects individuals and families whose eating patterns are disrupted due to a scarcity of fresh, nutritious food alternatives or a reduction in the amount and variety of food available.

The Knights Table Pantry recognizes that access to nutritious food is a fundamental human right. Food accessibility and affordability are essential for college students in order to thrive, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and concentrate in class. We believe that no Queens College or CUNY student should go hungry or forego a nutritious diet.

Food insecurity can be a significant yet solvable impediment to academic success. The Knights Table Pantry provides matriculated Queens College and CUNY students experiencing food insecurity with access to non-perishable food items for themselves and immediate family members. If you know of students who may be experiencing food insecurity, please encourage them to email [email protected] or call 718-997-0393 for quick access to the pantry.
