Does the institution host a food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource focused on alleviating food insecurity, hunger and poverty among students?:
A brief description of the food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource:
- Residence Life holds a food bank every fall semester for students on campus who are unable to return home for Thanksgiving. Student's are encouraged to donate canned goods for those who are unable to return because dining services have limited hours and selection during the break.
- In collaboration with the Second Harvest Food bank, a nonprofit organization that collects, stores, and distributes donated food to the local community, Florida Tech's American Society of Civil Engineers aided in the collection and distribution of 500 pounds of foods from 2022-2023.
- Panther Dining Hall is the center for all food service activity during a hurricane emergency period. Survival bags of snack food and water will be issued during the last meal service before storms for students and staff to stay prepared.
