More in My Basket
More in My Basket is a program developed at North Carolina State University/Cooperative Extension that helps reduce hunger by connecting North Carolina residents to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
PACK Meal Share
Recognizing the scope of food insecurity on campus, Student Government led the way in advocating for a student-to-student meal sharing program and is pleased to announce a new partnership with NC State Dining and the Student Ombuds for students facing short-term food insecurity. Through the donation of guest meals from student meal plans, a pool of meals has been established for students who find themselves temporarily without food options. These meals can be added to a student ID card to allow entry into Fountain, Clark, and Case (breakfast and lunch only) Dining Halls, Oval food court and the Wolves Den cafe at the College of Veterinary Medicine creating easy and discrete access to meals at no cost.

PACK Meal Scholarship
Full and partial meal plan scholarships may be available to students who are experiencing difficulty paying for a semester’s plan. Meal plan scholarships are reserved for first-year students who are required to purchase a meal plan. These meal plan scholarships are need based, subject to financial aid considerations and provided by donors to the Division of Academic and Student Affairs.
