The Purple Pantry, a food bank currently located in the Main Campus Student Center, is aimed at reducing food insecurity on ECU’s campus. A partnership between the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina in Greenville and several campus offices and organizations, the Purple Pantry is available to all enrolled students, Monday through Friday from 1:00pm to 5:00pm or by appointment. Since April 2018, the Purple Pantry has seen 277 visits. In Fall 2019, 1436 lbs of food were distributed to ECU students.
