Does the institution host a food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource focused on alleviating food insecurity, hunger and poverty among students?:
Yes
A brief description of the food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource:
The Hungry Wildcat Food Pantry strives to provide a wide assortment of healthy, student-friendly food products. We specialize in distributing local, farm-direct, organic produce and foods. The Pantry also provides hygiene and kitchen items.
This academic year the Pantry will distribute more than 50 tons of food to an estimated 4,000 students. Currently about two-thirds of the shelf stable food provided is strategically purchased through food bank and wholesale channels. The remaining is donated through the Chico Food Project, annual food drives, food rescue and direct donations. Organic and sustainably grown produce is purchased through the University Farm’s Organic Vegetable Project and other regional produce distributors.
