Tiger DEN Food Pantry

Northeast houses a food pantry, located in Hargett Hall, for student need called the Tiger DEN (Delivering Every Need). The purpose of the Tiger DEN is to provide supplemental food and other necessities to students in need. We know that it is hard to make ends meet when you are living on a tight budget and going to school, this is in place to help you achieve.

The Tiger DEN is a free resource to all students enrolled in at least 3 hours and receiving FASFA at Northeast Mississippi Community College. There are no other qualifiers for this resource-if it will benefit you or your family, we encourage you to utilize it. The process is as confidential as possible. If you are not receiving financial aid and feel that you would benefit from this service, please email us at tigerden@nemcc.edu. The Tiger DEN committee will review each request on a case by case basis.

1. Your first time requesting this service, we ask that you fill out the easy application. It is found at the bottom of this page.
2. Follow the easy instructions on locating your Financial Aid Award Letter and turn it in. These are located at the bottom of the page with the Application.
3. Once you have been approved, meaning staff check to see that you are a registered student and that you submitted your Award Letter, you will be given a Tiger DEN ID.
4. Log onto our Tiger DEN website and fill out the Request Form. Here you will choose the types of food you like or need, types of cooking appliances you have available, and time you are going to pick up. *You MUST fill out the Request Form to receive items.*
5. When the pick-up time is confirmed and your order is ready, you will receive notification via your official NEMCC email and/or text message.
6. You will come to Hargett Hall, and locate your assigned Tiger DEN locker. Using the code sent to you via text message or email, you will unlock the locker and receive your items. Please be aware that most orders are boxed and bagged. You may need help unloading and loading your items, so plan accordingly. 

We are now accepting applications each month! You can access the application on this page. The application stays open from the Monday after the last pick-up date, until the Sunday before the next pick-up date.

We are dedicated to serving our students and we respect your situation. There is no limit; however, we ask that students do not request when there is not a need.

At this time we are working with Phi Theta Kappa and other student organizations to meet the need of volunteers. If you participate in any of these, ask your organization advisor how you can help.

Refer students, friends and classmates. Its hard to ask for help, sometimes we need a push from someone else. If you know someone who could benefit, tell them about the Tiger DEN

Donate food. If you do not know what to donate, we have a list of most needed items. Or, you can just bring non-perishable food items to the Tiger DEN in Hargett Hall. You may place any items in an open locker by the stairs. Please email us at tigerden@nemcc.edu to inform that you have left items and in which locker you placed the items.

You can email us at tigerden@nemcc.edu.

Yes, you may request the file by emailing us at tigerden@nemcc.edu. All requests are approved.
