The Nest: Haverford College’s Food Pantry
The Nest food pantry, which is student run and managed, was started in the spring of 2020 to help address food insecurity at Haverford College. In previous years, food insecurity had been a consistent issue on campus, from breaks without the DC to semesters where a student may opt-out of the meal plan for financial reasons but then is left without a secure meal.
Now, LIFTFAR eligible students can rely on The Nest’s offerings seven days a week. It is stocked weekly with food staples such as milk, cereal, cheese and items for every meal of the day, including snacks. It is also supplied with fresh vegetables by HaverFarm, and each month, there is a special food item-of-the-month that is ordered. LIFTFAR eligible students can come when it’s open and take what they need.
