Question 3

Do I need to qualify to use the pantry?

Accepted Answer

All you need to visit the pantry is a PUID!

Friends or family may also visit under your name and PUID if you are unavailable during your scheduled appointment time.

Question 4

What can I typically find at the pantry?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

I see you're located in a church. Is this a religious organization?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Can I donate some extra food I have on hand?

Accepted Answer

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.
