Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
Drive, ride, or walk up to the back door of the Baptist Student Foundation (200 N Russell St, across from the Honors College). Bike racks are on the north side of our building, and parking spots 4-8 are open for clients. We will load your food right into your car for you!
You can choose up to 3 (on some days, more) produce/dairy items, 1 roll of toilet paper and 15 points worth of non-perishables and freezer items.
I see you're located in a church. Is this a religious organization?
We are NOT a religious organization. The ACE Campus Food Pantry is a diverse group dedicated to elevating voices from all faith perspectives and identities, and making sure every Boilermaker feels at home with us. We are incredibly grateful to the Baptist Student Foundation (The Found) for being the first agency to house us (we are still located in their building to this day!). The Found shares our values of inclusion and welcomes ALL members of our community.
Do I need to qualify to use the pantry?
All you need to visit the pantry is a PUID! A family member may also visit for you if you are busy/elsewhere during pantry shifts.
​
What items do you typically carry?
Our stock varies week-to-week, especially during the spring and summer months when there is produce. But you can usually count on us carrying bread, canned items and breakfast items. We also make carrying items like pads, tampons and toilet paper a high priority.
Can I donate some extra food I have on hand?
We'd love that! All you have to do is make sure the items you are donating have the ingredients listed on them, and we will handle processing from there! Donations can be dropped off at the pantry during our open hours, or in KRACH 336 9am-5pm Monday through Friday.
