The UC Bearcats Pantry provides free food, hygiene items, cleaning supplies, and professional clothing to students of all backgrounds with food and other insecurities. The pantry also provides meal vouchers that can be used at campus dining halls and To-Go Bags that can be conveniently picked up at locations across campus.

Recognizing it's role in the community, UC Sustainability strives to ensure access to food for every person. We hope to do so through this partnership with the Bearcat Food Pantry.
About the Pantry
Mission
Our goal is to assist students in need by cutting down their grocery bills and connecting them to other resources in an effort to promote independence. The pantry is meant to provide supplemental support, which means we do not supply enough food to completely eradicate food insecurity.
