CU Anschutz Food Pantry
Keeping Campus Fed
The food pantry is open to all faculty, staff and students seeking food, hygiene items, and pet supplies. The food pantry is located in the Strauss Health Sciences Library, room 3105.
The food pantry is now staffed by students and open hours for Spring 2023 are as follows:
- Tuesdays 5:30p-7:30p
- Wednesdays 5:30p-8:00p
- Thursdays 5:00p-8:00p
- Fridays 4:30p-8p
There are no restrictions on the number of visits to the food pantry but there are limits on the quantity of items taken.
How to Access:
Enter the library and take the elevator to the third floor. Exit the elevator and take an immediate right down the hallway. If you take the stairs near the elevator, the hallway is straight ahead on the third floor. The food pantry will be on your left, across from the Record Now Studio. If you are in need of additional resources and support regarding food insecurity, simply submit a referral and a Case Manager will help you navigate resources.
How to Support:
The best way to support students experiencing food insecurity is by donating to the CU Anschutz Shares fund, the campus emergency fund for students. You can make a one-time donation or make a monthly payroll deduction. Any food pantry donations can be made at the campus food pantry located in the Strauss Health Sciences Library, room 3105.
