Food Access

Through generous donations from Petrie, Friedlander Family, and Robin Hood Foundations and the Gerstner Philanthropies, Baruch College is able to offer students who face food insecurity the following resources:

Bearcat Food Pantry

Students who face food insecurity are able to make use of the Bearcat Food Pantry. The Pantry is in the BOSS (ground floor of the NVC, room 1-116). At the present time, use of the Bearcat Food Pantry is by appointment. The types of food items available include dry goods, meat, and dairy, as well as kosher and halal options.

Grab & Go Bags

To help prevent students facing immediate hunger from going unfed (those who have not eaten for an extended period; those experiencing dizziness or dehydration from lack of eating; or those who skipped recent meals because of lack of funds, etc.), we have made available a “Grab & Go” bag. This bag includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is designed to provide a student in need with nutrition to get him or her through a day.

Request a Grab & Go bag at the Student Health Center.
