Welcome to the Food Pantry!
The Food Pantry is an emergency food relief supply for all UC Berkeley students (undergraduate and graduate), staff, visiting scholars, postdocs, and faculty. We are usually located in BNorth, the lower level of MLK Student Union (Room 68). However, due to COVID-19 guidelines, we are currently based in the 1st floor of the MLK Student Union.
We offer items such as rice, pasta, milk, cereal, freezer items, and fresh produce!
Students and staff are welcome to take as much as needed whenever needed while being mindful that it is a shared community resource for emergencies.
The Pantry operates on a self-assessed need basis. There are no eligibility requirements and all you need is your Cal ID.

We will be monitoring the situation closely during the semester and move in alignment with public health and campus decisions. We want to acknowledge that COVID-19 may have an impact on students’ basic needs, and we will continue to provide services through the outbreak, whether they are remote or accessible in different ways. Our goal is to support students and ensure that everyone can get the help that they need.
