Hawk's Harvest UNCW Food Pantry

Hawk's Harvest: The UNCW Food Pantry

Results of a recent study show that 14 percent of UNCW students experience food insecurity and would benefit from a food pantry, but only 5 percent currently use a food pantry service. The goal of Hawk's Harvest is to make food available for all UNCW students. Hawk's Harvest is available to serve all UNCW students with a One Card. Please see below for schedule and location information.

COVID-19: If you are currently experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 related losses, please consider requesting Emergency Fund assistance through the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
