One in seven people in the United States are food insecure, defined as having inadequate access, availability and stability of food. Some college campuses report up to four times the national average of food insecurity.

The Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is a Triangle-area resource offering food assistance and education to community members. On top of saving food from landfills and distributing it through community partners, the organization aims to combat diet-related illness through nutrition education and empower individuals to grow their own food.

Feed the Pack Food Pantry is open to anyone with a Wolfpack One ID, including students, staff and faculty, to shop once a week to supplement their diets with free, healthy food. They serve about 400 individuals each week during the regular school year, and around 250 a week during the summer.

Alyssa Griffin, a graduate student studying marine, earth and atmospheric science and the Feed the Pack Pantry manager, said their patron population is 75% students and 25% staff. 

The new legislation has caused millions of people to lose SNAP benefits and makes future enrollment more difficult.

“Feed the Pack is an easier resource to access every week than being eligible for SNAP benefits, or being eligible for other types of city or state-run programs,” Griffin said.

Find ways to support Feed the Pack and the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, as well as other local organizations combating hunger, through their websites and social media.
