The SHOP Hunger Free Campus Grant - Student Worker
About The Position
The College of New Jersey is excited to offer an on-campus Office Assistant position to support the Dean of Students Office, specifically working with The Shop (campus food pantry), assisting with records management, and other administrative tasks as assigned. In recent years, the TCNJ CARES program has received increased requests from students to provide emergency aid to those struggling to eat consistently or find adequate housing; especially during times when the College is on extended breaks. National data further suggests that nearly 30-40%25 of college students have some level of food insecurity. These factors motivated us to open The SHOP@TCNJ. We believe that through providing food to our campus and local community we will be addressing at least one of our basic needs. For students, this type of support can decrease the barriers preventing them from peak performance both in and out of the classroom. Additionally, it has the potential for individuals to build connections to more sustainable, long-term resources such as the Dean of Students Office, Mercer Street Friends, NJ SNAP, WIC, or other campus or human service agencies.
