Food Assistance

Current New School students who do not have the means to buy adequate food for themselves are eligible to use the university's Food Pantry located at the University Center's Event Café, room L103A. It is a free service open to all students in all schools and programs—including undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs. Students are also eligible to use the pantry to meet the needs of all members of their household. Any other adults, children, or seniors who live with a student and buy and eat meals with them are considered part of their household. As an emergency food program, we are also able to connect students to other resources to help ease their financial burdens. The New School Food Pantry partners with Food Bank NYC to supply the inventory for the pantry.

The New School Food Pantry is committed to ensuring equal access for students with disabilities. If you have a disability and require accommodations to use this service, please email foodpantry@newschool.edu, contact Student Disability Services at studentdisability@newschool.edu, or call 212.229.5626.

Students in need of food-related and other support can email studentsupport@newschool.edu or set up an appointment through Starfish to discuss their situation and community support options.
