More Than a Meal: Empowering Students Through Support

The Trojan Pantry at Troy University is a student-focused resource working to end food insecurity on the Troy Campus. Operated by the Office of Civic Engagement, the pantry provides free access to nonperishable food, hygiene products, and basic school supplies for all enrolled students. With nearly one-third of students facing food insecurity, the Trojan Pantry plays a key role in supporting student success and well-being. Through partnerships with local food banks and campus-wide initiatives like “Tins for Troy,” the pantry continues to grow its impact and foster a stronger, more supportive Trojan community.

Give Us A 5 Fundraising Campaign

How You Can Help the Trojan Pantry Make a Difference

We invite you to be part of this year's Give Us a Five campaign—where just $5 a month can make a life-changing difference for Troy students.

Help the Trojan Pantry serve students by providing food, hygiene and school supply items to ensure the lack of access to basic needs is not a barrier to academic success.

Here's the impact your gift supports:

  • The pantry serves 50 student visits each week

  • Distributes over 500 lbs. of food, hygiene, and school supplies weekly

  • More than 75% of surveyed students say the pantry improved their academic success—helping them attend class, focus, improve grades, and stay enrolled.

Our Goal:
We're aiming for 200 monthly donors giving just $5 each to keep this vital resource strong.

Ways to Give:
Alumni, Family and Friends - Schedule a Monthly $5 Gift
Faculty and Staff - Payroll Deduction

Alumni Board's donation helps Trojan Pantry battle food insecurity on Troy Campus

Troy University's Alumni Association Board of Directors is helping to address food insecurity needs on the Troy Campus through its recent donation to the Trojan Pantry. The Board recently donated $2,000 to the Trojan Pantry, an initiative led by the Office of Civic Engagement to address food insecurity among students that opened in November 2022.
