Pantry Usage Guidelines
To ensure equitable access for all students, there are a few guidelines in place. Students are welcome to visit the food pantry once per week and can select up to 10 points worth of items during each visit. Certain high-demand items may have quantity restrictions to ensure availability for everyone.
Opening Hours: Monday to Thursday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Restocking Schedule: Please note that the Pantry is closed on Fridays for restocking to ensure a fresh and well-supplied inventory for the following week.
Beyond immediate food needs, the Brutus’ Food Pantry also acts as a hub to connect students with longer-term support options available off-campus. Students can schedule appointments with a Benefits Hub Coach to explore these resources further.
