A2Y Supports Swoop's Food Pantry

Swoop’s Food Pantry is a student-led pantry at Eastern Michigan University that provides food assistance as well as additional resources to positively impact the well-being and success of the EMU community. Since opening on September 21, 2015, Swoop’s has had over 17,000 student visits and distributed over 320,000 pounds of food, personal hygiene items, and household goods. 

Students can visit the pantry as needed at no cost while working towards their degree. Due to COVID-19, Swoop’s is currently offering both an in-person socially distanced shopping experience and online ordering/grocery pickup.
