Mission

The International Student Pantry, Inc. (ISP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing food assistance to students regardless of their country of origin or faith.

We understand that college/university students often spend long hours completing their academic requirements and have little time to earn money or stay healthy. ISP offers students nutritious food weekly, enabling them to focus on school, save money, and stay healthy. Through ISP, students become part of our international family and encourage each other to achieve success. Each student has unique needs, and ISP focuses on providing for those needs with love and compassion.
