DU Food Pantry
National studies show that students in higher education are highly vulnerable to food and housing insecurity. We know this is the case at DU, as well. The DU Food Pantry exists as a free and open resource for anyone with a DU ID number to supplement their weekly food supply in times of need. New visitors are asked to fill out a short demographic survey.
COVID19 UPDATE
In an effort to reduce risk and exposure to our users and staff at the Food Pantry, we will be operating differently until further notice. Food Pantry users will no longer be allowed to shop for their own food; instead, we will provide pre-packed boxes that you will be able to pick up in a low-contact way.
Pickups will continue to be on Tuesdays 4pm-8pm during classes and 2pm-6pm during breaks.
Bags can be picked up on the Williams Street side of Centennial Towers. All users will be required to be wearing a mask when they pick up their box.
We are asking all users to request food boxes in advance. Food Box requests must be completed the Saturday before the scheduled pick-up day. Fill out the form to request your box HERE.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to foodpantry@du.edu.
Hours
Tuesdays 4 pm-8 pm during classes
Tuesdays 2 pm-6 pm during breaks
If you are unable to make it to our drop-in hours, you can schedule an appointment by contacting foodpantry@du.edu.
The DU Food Pantry is located in the Center for Sustainability, on the first floor of the Centennial Towers residence hall.
Visitors are provided with up to one bag of food per week. New visitors will get a free reusable bag and are expected to bring this with them on future visits. This is to reduce the waste generated by food pantry visits and also to ensure that this shared resource is able to serve all who need it.
