The R'Pantry

is the byproduct of cross campus work of both student leaders and campus departments. With the help from the UC Global Food Initiative we are continuing to build and develop this program to provide emergency food, personal hygiene, household, and infant care items. Additionally, we aim to increase long term wellness for our Highlander community by increasing access to educational programs and workshops. We continue to work in the spirit of building community and support so that together we can "End Highlander Hunger".
