Cougar Cupboard

USF Food Pantry

USF’s food pantry began in spring 2021 to serve a growing need for students. According to Hunger on Campus, 47% of four-year college students reported food insecurity (Association of American Colleges & Universities, 2017). Cougar Cupboard provides non-perishable food and personal hygiene items to any member of the USF community who is in need. Cougar Cupboard is located on the lower level of the Mears Library. It is open during regular library hours during the academic year.
