In order to access the Trojan Food Pantry, we require students to complete our intake form once per semester. Students will be responsible for showing a screenshot of the completed intake form during the first Trojan Food Pantry visit each term. Additionally, we are utilizing a card swipe system, which requires your physical USCard at every visit. Due to this process, we will not be able to accommodate students picking up groceries on behalf of their friends. Please also bring your own reusable bag during each visit.

The Trojan Food Pantry serves as a supplemental food resource designed to support students in meeting their basic needs. It is not intended to replace a student’s primary source of food but rather to provide additional support during times of need.

Eligibility Requirements

  • Must be enrolled at USC during the term you are seeking support

Students who meet these eligibility requirements may access a limited amount of groceries per week during posted operating hours.

*Students with an active meal plan who have 20 or fewer remaining meals may be considered for support through the Trojan Food Pantry.
