Spring 2025 Food Pantry Shopping Appointments

The Jamil Niner Student Pantry reopens for the Spring 2025 semester the week of January 13th. The Jamil Niner Student Pantry will be open for shopping on Tuesdays and Thursdays only during the Spring 2025 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.
