This study documents campus awareness of an on-campus food pantry and the value of its nutritional offerings in order to provide tailored recommendations for improving this particular emergency resource for food insecure students.
This study surveyed 253 students, and 185 faculty and staff at the Southeastern Flagship Institution.
This mixed methods study combined a quantitative survey administered to 438 participants with an in-depth nutritional analysis of the food pantry's offerings.
Results showed low levels of awareness by faculty and staff and limited offerings of fresh fruits and vegetables, dark leafy greens, and whole grains in the on-campus food pantry.
This research helps to fill critical gaps regarding faculty and staff awareness of on-campus food pantries. Importantly, this article provides recommendations for campus food pantries to improve their campus awareness and nutritional offerings through engaging University stakeholders with long-term appointments and increasing donor education.
本研究记录了校园对校内食品储藏室的认识，以及其营养供应的价值，以便为改善这一特定的、为食物不足的学生提供紧急资源提供有针对性的建议。
本研究调查了东南旗舰机构的 253 名学生和 185 名教职员工。
这项混合方法研究将对 438 名参与者进行的定量调查与对校内食品储藏室供应品的深入营养分析相结合。
研究结果表明，教职员工的意识水平较低，校内食品储藏室提供的新鲜水果和蔬菜、深色多叶蔬菜以及全谷物的数量有限。
这项研究有助于填补有关教职员工对校内食品储藏室的认识方面的关键空白。重要的是，本文通过与长期任命的大学利益相关者合作，并增加对捐赠者的教育，为校园食品储藏室提供了提高校园意识和营养供应的建议。
