The Office of Student Life is excited to announce the start of Bruin Community Pantry, an initiative seeking to address the real problem of hunger (“food insecurityâ€) on campus. It’s our goal to help meet the needs of community members who, for one reason or another, do not have access to enough healthy food.
Four different components of Bruin Community Pantry include:
Food Pantry
All George Fox community members have access to the pantry, located in the Roberts Center (Room 110). Community food drives will be held to provide non-perishable items for the pantry, and athletic teams will facilitate food drives during home games.
Contact student life for a list of items non-perishable food and household items needed for the pantry. Donations are now being accepted in the student life office on the third floor of the Stevens Center.
Hospitality
Partnerships with local businesses for “gifts in kindâ€Â have been established with Bon Appetit, Newberg’s Grocery Outlet and Ray’s Produce. A variety of pre-packaged foods are available for students, located at hospitality tables in the student life office, spiritual life office, and the Intercultural Resource Center (Moore House). The tables are open during office hours, which are generally 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The Duke Athletic Center will host a peanut butter and jelly sandwich bar that is available to all George Fox students.
Leftovers
The student life office will arrange for quality leftover food to be stored in a refrigerator in our office. All food donated will be adequately contained and dated. Food not picked up in the appropriate amount of time will be disposed of.
Students participating in this program can sign up by contacting our office. A waiver is required for anyone participating in the Leftovers program.
Outreach
Partnering with existing local outreach initiatives facilitated by spiritual life, students who want to support their efforts will be connected to their programs.
We live in a society with easy access to processed food. When you eat whole foods, you’re getting food in its natural state. This aspect of our outreach will endeavor to provide cooking classes in various living areas on campus using recipes from “Eat well on $4 a day, Good and Cheap.â€

Welcome to a new school year! As new and returning students move onto campus this weekend, we wanted to remind you of the fact we are experiencing an impact from the many wildfires throughout the Northwest. Although the air quality is of concern, the threat of fire on or near campus is not an issue.
It is important to know that when the air quality is compromised, even healthy people may experience irritation. Typical symptoms are coughing, scratchy throat, shortness of breath and stinging eyes.
For individuals who are sensitive to poor air quality, the high smoke levels can have a much stronger impact. We strongly recommend that those individuals take appropriate precautions. Please limit your time outdoors, keeping medications such as inhalers and eye drops nearby, and follow guidance from your doctor regarding your personal respiratory management plan.
Please follow these tips to minimize the impact of this poor air quality:
For those who are concerned about the air quality, you are welcome to watch a live stream of the university welcome event (at 6 p.m. on Thursday) in Bauman Auditorium.
With fall semester about to start, Mail Services is offering extended hours for a limited time. Please see times below:
Our regular hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. will return Monday, Sept. 3. If you have any questions, please contact Richard Silver at rsilver@georgefox.edu.
