Food Pantry
Led by the Student Council, the FUSA Food Pantry was championed as a practical way to help students access essential pantry items during the cost-of-living crisis.
The FUSA Pantry provides free essential food and personal care items for students experiencing financial pressure.
With the cost of living continuing to affect students, the pantry is here to offer practical, low-barrier support when you need it. No appointment is needed. Just visit one of the pantry locations during opening hours and take the items that are useful to you.
To help keep the pantry available for as many students as possible, please take what you need and leave what you can for others.
