Pantry Profiles

A social media campaign created to highlight college food culture and the challenges students face around access, affordability, and nutrition.

#PantryProfiles is a story told through the medium of Instagram. This campaign explores the overlooked realities of college food culture. Created at UNC Charlotte, this project documents what students are actually eating – and what their pantries say about cost, time, access, and survival.
Through personal stories, quotes, and visual documentation, Pantry Profiles sheds light on the rising issue of food insecurity in college.
