Fall 2024 Food Pantry Shopping Appointments

The Jamil Niner Student Pantry reopens for the Fall 2024 semester the week of August 19th. The Jamil Niner Student Pantry will be open for shopping on Tuesdays and Thursdays only during the Fall 2024 semester!

The pantry's online form for student shoppers opens every Sunday morning at 7:00 a.m. Shopping appointments can be scheduled between 11:00 - 4:30 p.m. Students may only shop once per week. Repeated no-shows to appointments will receive notification from our office and may lose eligibility for the remainder of the semester. Appointments are limited and we want to ensure that students are committing to their scheduled appointment date/time. 

Questions regarding scheduling? Email ninerpantry@charlotte.edu

Starting July 1, 2024, the Jamil Niner Student Pantry is now managed by Student Assistance and Support Services (SASS). Please direct all questions regarding shopping, volunteering, donating, and partnerships to SASS. We can be reached at ninerpantry@charlotte.edu or (704) 687-0289.

About Food Insecurity and the Niner Pantry

The Jamil Niner Student Pantry provides food assistance to UNC Charlotte students and employees experiencing food insecurity. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food insecurity as a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. Our pantry offers a variety of nutritious non-perishable and fresh foods on a weekly basis to currently registered UNC Charlotte students and to UNC Charlotte employees experiencing food insecurity. 

 The Jamil Niner Student Pantry welcomes everyone in our Niner Nation community regardless of race, age, gender, nationality, family or immigration status, ability, religion, or sexual orientation.

Shopping Appointments

Scheduled appointments are required and minimize the number of people in the pantry at one time. If you are more than 15 minutes late to your appointment time you may not be allowed to shop. Repeated no-shows to appointments will receive notification from our office and may lose eligibility for the remainder of the semester.

Schedule your appointment for the week using the Food Pantry Request form, which you can access under the "Appointments" tab. The form opens every Sunday morning at 7:00 a.m. Ensure you select an appointment time that works for your schedule. 

Please arrive on time for your scheduled shopping appointment and enter the Jamil Niner Student Pantry's front door. Be ready to show your 49er ID card at the check-in desk. Friends must wait outside the pantry as only those with scheduled appointments will be allowed inside.
