Every year, approximately 30% of the students who attend a college or university in the US, experience some form of food insecurity<\/a>.  After paying tuition, buying books and\/or paying a monthly rent, many students are left wondering whether or not they will have enough money to buy food or personal items such as toiletries.  It is with that in mind, that the Student Government Association (SGA) created The Nest<\/strong> food pantry to support Monmouth University undergraduate and graduate students who do not have a meal-plan.  Students who do not have any form of meal-plan can come to the Nest to select non-perishable food items (i.e., pasta, canned foods, cereals, crackers, etc.) beverages, and toiletries (i.e., toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
