Bruin Community Pantry in need of your support

Now more than ever, our community is in need of resources, especially food. Students returning to campus who are eligible to be on a lower meal plan will need access to the Bruin Community Pantry food bank to supplement their nutritional needs.

Since May, more than 600 students, alumni and their families who live locally have utilized the food bank. We anticipate that this number will increase once school starts. Please consider helping in one of two ways:

  1. Donate monthly through payroll deduction through the advancement office.
  2. Shop for and deliver the below items to the food bank in Roberts Center during its hours of operation (currently Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon).

Or, contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu) to meet you at the food bank. Here is a list of the items that are needed:

  • Pasta sauce
  • Tuna
  • Cereal
  • Gluten-free items
  • Top ramen
  • Garbanzo beans
  • Black beans
  • Soups
  • Canned meat
  • Granola bars
  • Microwave popcorn
  • Meals in a can
  • Crackers

Thank you for helping to stock up the food bank!
