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.
