ATTENTION PANTRY USERS

Due to the recent COVID-19 crisis, Pantry has had to adapt our student food bank program. For the 2020/2021 Academic year we will be doing Hampers for any students in need. 

1. Complete the "Hamper Request" form https://www.ubcsuo.ca/sites/default/files/ubcsuo_pantry_foodbank_hamper_...
2. Email your completed form to pantry.foodbank@ubcsuo.ca by Thursday @ 2:30PM
3. Hampers will be ready for pickup on Fridays. You will be emailed Thursday afternoon with pickup appointment. If you cannot make your appointment, please let us know immediately as we are using the appointment system to ensure social distancing. 
4. Complete a form every time you need a hamper.

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!
