Food pantry fights student financial strain

At Charles Sturt, we understand that often the cost of living can create unexpected life challenges. Giving students access to a student food pantry means everyone can access nourishing, affordable food – no matter their circumstances. By offering free pantry staples and essential items, the food pantry aims to relieve financial pressures so students can focus on their studies and personal growth. 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.

The food pantry is a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) funded initiative, available to students whether they study on campus or online. Food pantries are available across several campus locations in Albury-Wodonga, Bathurst, Dubbo, Orange, Port Macquarie and Wagga Wagga.
