ATTENTION PANTRY USERS

Due to the recent COVID-19 crisis, Pantry has had to adapt our student food bank program. Starting April 17th 2020 we will be doing a once per week hamper request. Here is how the new program will work until further notice. 

1. Complete the "Emergency Hamper Request" form https://www.ubcsuo.ca/sites/default/files/ubcsuo_pantry_foodbank_emergen...
2. Email your completed form to pantry.foodbank@ubcsuo.ca by Monday at 2:30PM 
3. Hampers will be ready for pickup or drop off on Wednesday. You will be emailed Wednesday morning with pickup/drop off time frames.
4. Complete a form every time you need a hamper.

Hampers are being built and provided by the Lake Country Food Assistance Society. We want to thank them tremendously for their assistance in this difficult time. 

Pantry will continue to opertate in this capacity until further notice. Please feel free to reach out via email if you have any questions or concerns. 

Take care!

Are you hungry on Campus? 
Not enough food left to last until payday?
 

Pantry: a student food bank is now open! 

How does Pantry work?

Step 1 - GRAB A BAG!
Take a bag or more to use to carry your food. We try to reuse plastic bags from the community, so if you have bags at home we will put them to good use!
Step 2 - TAKE WHAT YOU NEED.
Using the guidelines, take what you need to get you through a few days. Remember to check the fridge and freezer too!
Please keep in mind that we serve other students, so be considerate when taking food.
Step 3 - NEED SOMETHING SPECIFIC?
For those students with food allergies, restrictions, or dietary needs we have hampers available. Fill out a hamper request form and drop it in the box provided or email it to pantry.foodbank@ubcsuo.ca and we will fill it within 2 business days.
Step 4 - HAVE ANY FEEDBACK?
Something we're missing? Suggestions to improve the food bank? Questions or concerns?
Email us at pantry.foodbank@ubcsuo.ca with your comments, ideas, and suggestions!

Is it after hours and you have an urgent need for food? 

Please see Campus Security in the Admin building and let them know!
