UGA STUDENT
FOOD PANTRY

Providing a resource for students in the heart of campus

WHO WE ARE

In 2011, UGA Students recognized a need on campus and decided to address the troubling situation of student hunger. We serve an average of 100 students per day and no one is ever asked to provide proof of need. The pantry also strives to provide information about other resources offered on campus and in the community.

WHAT WE DO

The UGA Student Food Pantry is a full-service food pantry that is open to all students on UGA's campus. Providing quick access to basic food items ranging from breakfast bars and pasta, to microwaveable meals and spices. We also offer refrigerated and frozen goods like milk, fruit, vegetables, and meat.

HOW TO ACCESS

The UGA Student Food Pantry is a nonprofit organization open to ALL students (undergraduate and graduate) at Tate Student Center 146 with a student ID.

Stop by and get food for lunch, or even for the whole week. It is completely confidential.

General Guidelines for Coordinating a Drive:

1. Inspect all items for expiration dates and damage before donating to the pantry
2. Organize product as best as you can before donating to encourage ease of stocking and shelving
3. Communicate dates of when the drive starts and ends
4. Let UGA Student Food Pantry know if you can deliver the items or if we need to discuss pickup options
5. General estimate of how many items you may collect or update the UGA Student Food Pantry as you are able about the number of items. This helps us plan for food orders and create space in the pantry and in backstock.
