The mission of the Essex County College Food Pantry is to create access to nutritious food, support our students throughout their college experience and empower them to exceed expectations. We believe that access to food and obtaining an education are basic human rights. We support students by providing them with nutritious foods, promoting healthy eating habits, and meeting the basic needs of students with food insecurity. We are here to listen and support our students.
All donations are tax deductible and directly support students receiving assistance through our Food Pantry.
We thank you for your generous donation and support!
