Every Thanksgiving, faculty and staff at Temple have opened their homes to international students who are interested in celebrating the holiday as guests of a family. This year, TAUP is teaming up with Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab to find families to host students who are food-insecure.

Surveys have shown that just over 1 in 3 students attending Temple are food-insecure, and a growing number have been utilizing the Cherry Pantry. The Cherry Pantry, in the Howard Gittis Student Center, makes grocery items and personal hygiene products available to students in need. But holidays are a special time, where students may be both away from their families and food insecure.

If you would be willing to welcome a guest at your Thanksgiving or other holiday meal, this year or next, please complete this form. You will be contacted if there is a possible guest for your table.
