Abstract
Knights’ Harvest Pantry (previously known as The Pantry at Geneseo) is a recent addition to the SUNY Geneseo campus, beginning operation only as recently as 2021. On the Geneseo campus, students are finding that they are having issues securing food to sustain themselves on a weekly basis. Addressing this issue should be a top priority on campus, as student’s who are food insecure tend to have a lower graduation rate and are less likely to obtain an undergraduate degree. Through funding provided through grants from the SUNY system, our team looked to increase the number of pantry users, increase the space available for Knights’ Harvest and locate a reliable food source for an increasing number of users. Our poster aims to summarize how we as student coordinators achieved these goals and discuss our efforts in fighting food insecurity.
