Donate.
Since its opening in October 2016, the Campus Pantry has supported over 250 individuals in the UB Community and has distributed over 5,000 pounds of food. In order to continue to support the UB Community, we need your monetary and supply donations.
Here’s how you can help.
Monetary Donations
Whenever the Pantry gets low on a staple product, it uses financial donations to replenish its stocks. By giving a monetary donation, you are enabling the Pantry to buy what is needed, when it is needed.
