The BU Food Pantry is here to support all students on campus who may be facing episodic food insecurity and to educate students about how they they can make nutritious and budget friendly choices.
Food insecurity is more than an economic issue: it's a physical and emotional wellbeing issue that can affect how someone feels, thinks and shows up in daily life. More on Food security and Youth Mental Health from The Jed Foundation.
Thanks to cross-campus efforts, partnerships, funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) through the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, and the generosity of our community, BU is proud to offer several resources for our students.
Your help is essential to help support BU students in need and keep the pantry shelves stocked!
Many offices, programs and groups offer a wide variety of food related education and services - right here on campus. Explore resources!
