Since opening in 2018, the Barnett Irvine Cherry Pantry has become a cornerstone of Temple University’s basic needs support offerings. Originally providing nonperishable goods and hygiene items on main campus, services have expanded to satellite locations at the Ambler, Health Sciences, and Center City campuses. Other additions, such as a fridge for fresh fruits and veggies and a menstrual product vending machine, have increased the support available for students. The Cherry Pantry’s mission is to combat hunger in the Temple community by supplying nutritious emergency food while providing equal treatment to all who visit the pantry.
