The Food Pantry hopes to give UC students access to free food supplies multiple days a week. The Food Pantry would be open to students for up to 8 hours per week split across 3 days and will stock a variety of food items, most of which will be non-perishable in order to avoid wastage. This project aims to encourage healthy eating, enable and support students struggling financially to continue to eat properly. Since this project has been running for more then a year now. We have developed an understanding of how great this program is for students, the feedback has been incredible and we have begun providing more essential products such as toiletries and some clothing items. This essentials have been requested by students as they can be quite expensive and they struggle to buy them
Givit would assist in sourcing non-perishables and essentials in order to have a constant flow of these products for students.
