We accept all non-perishable food and hygiene products.

All food is free for eligible students/employees. Visitors may choose what they would like to take and quantities handed out depend on current availability. Food drives are conducted every semester and donations are always welcomed to ensure the pantry is as fully stocked as possible.

There are two options for taking food from the pantry. Visitors may take a day's worth of items (five single serving items) and visit up to twice a week OR they may take an estimated week's worth, and visit up to twice a month.
