Starting today (Monday):
- Students and employees from George Fox will be required to show their student or employee ID card before entering the food bank.
- Community members will be welcome to come to the food bank one day a week, during our open hours on Wednesdays.
These changes are due to the lack of affordable food from YCAP and the Oregon Food Bank, plus the increase in clients using our food bank.
As always, if people need access to food outside of our normal hours, please email bruincommunitypantry@georgfox.edu to make arrangements to access the food bank.
