Volunteer at the Trojan Food Pantry

The Trojan Food Pantry Volunteer Program is open to registered USC students only. For staff, faculty and/or group volunteering, please email us at basicneeds@usc.edu to inquire.

We are excited to introduce our newly re-vamped TFP Volunteer Program for Spring 2025. If you are interesting in getting involved, please see below for a step-by-step process:

  1. Complete the Volunteer Interest Form (login w/ USC credentials).
  2. Sign up for a 30-minute training session via this link. The training will include:
    • Pantry walk-through
    • Volunteer program details
    • General food safety guidelines
    • Q&A
  3. Sign up for volunteer shifts (you will receive a sign-up link upon completing your training).

Volunteer Quick Guide:

Please note, volunteer opportunities are only available to current USC students, staff, and faculty at this time. If you have any questions, please email basicneeds@usc.edu or follow us on Instagram @uscbasicneeds.

For me one of the greatest aspects of the Trojan Food Pantry is the sense of community. I have come to know many wonderful students and have developed countless connections. Furthermore, the volunteers are also fantastic and work really well with guests to humbly make them feel welcome and comfortable.
