UMD Campus Pantry & Terp Farm

Under the Department of Dining Services Green Dining Initiative, the UMD Campus Pantry and Terp Farm are dedicated to promoting food security and supporting the student body by providing emergency food to Terps in need. As a program we seek to do the following:

• Create a safe space to distribute good quality and nutritious food to UMD-College Park students, faculty and staff.
• Provide a space on campus dedicated to food donation collection.
• Accept donations of good quality and nutritious foods that might otherwise be wasted and thereby enhance sustainability initiatives on campus.
• Raise awareness about food insecurity, especially as experienced by low-income college students.
• Encourage student engagement and foster a sense of community and service among peers on campus

UMD’s Department of Dining Services, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (AGNR) and Office of Sustainability are partnered to manage “Terp Farm”, a sustainable farming operation located just 15 miles from the College Park campus. Terp Farm grows vegetables with the help of students and donates a portion of the harvest to the UMD Campus Pantry.
