Student food pantry

At Charles Sturt, we believe everyone should have access to nourishing, affordable food—no matter their circumstances. Our Student Food Pantry is a SSAF-funded initiative committed to supporting all students, whether you study on campus or online.

What is the Student Food Pantry?

By offering free pantry staples and essential items, we aim to relieve financial pressures so you can focus on your studies and personal growth.The rising cost of living can create unexpected challenges. The Food Pantry is here to ease some of those burdens, helping you stay on track toward achieving your goals.

It also provides a chance for the Charles Sturt community to work together—through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word—so that no student goes without a meal.

By looking out for one another and making sure no one goes without, we’re building a stronger, kinder Charles Sturt community. The Student Food Pantry is here for you—so you can stay focused on your studies, your future, and making your own mark on the world. We look forward to supporting you on your journey!
