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.

Swipe Out Hunger Program at UNC Charlotte

The Swipe Out Hunger Program aims to provide students who are food insecure, and/or who are experiencing an emergency situation, access to healthy and well-balanced meals in our campus dining halls. To be eligible, students must be currently enrolled at UNC Charlotte.

If you meet this initial requirement and would like to complete a needs-based assessment to determine your further eligibility for the program, please email Student Assistance and Support Services (studentsupport@charlotte.edu) directly with your inquiry. Your email should include specific information regarding why you are in need of this particular service. Please review additional information on UNC Charlotte's Swipe Out Hunger before submitting an email inquiry. 

Donate Meal Swipes

Students can donate up to two swipes from their meal plan per semester. Swipes can be donated by:

  1. Visiting the 49er ID Card Office in Popp Martin Student Union, which has a swipe machine to collect meal donations.
  2. Outside Social 704 and SoVi Dining Hall during National National Volunteer Week.
