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, student researchers, postdocs, and faculty. We are currently located on the 1st floor of the MLK Student Union, moving back to our previous location in BNorth next year. We are currently open for walk ups only during open hours. If you currently have to quarantine due to COVID-19 and cannot come in person, please see our external delivery request form below open hours.
We offer items such as rice, pasta, milk, cereal, freezer items, and fresh produce!
Students and staff are welcome to come up to once per week, 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 or Cal ID # (if you don't have your physical card yet).
The Food Pantry is currently hosting Pop-Up Pantries on the 1st floor of the MLK Student Union (by the student store):
-
Tuesdays, 3-6 PM
-
Wednesdays, 8-9 AM & 10-1 PM
-
Thursdays, 12-3 PM
-
Fridays and Saturdays, 11 AM - 1 PM
As we are transitioning back with students returning to campus, we will still be using a take what you need model, but can only accommodate up to one visit per week
