Where is the food pantry?

The Food Pantry is in the MLK Student Union. Our newly renovated space is in BNorth. This is on the bottom floor of the MLK Student Union, on the north end of the building, but you will have to check in on the 1st floor before heading down.

How does the food pantry work?

Please visit our pantry page for more details about how to access, but here is an outline below:

We have a virtual line which opens during open hours. This is to avoid long physical lines and can be joined from anywhere on campus or in person at our check in on the first floor of the MLK Student Union.

The pantry operates on a self-assessed, need-based basis. You are welcome to come up to once per week, take as much as you need while being mindful that the food pantry is a shared community resource for emergency food needs...
