The Pantry, the Ithaca College On-site Food Pantry, opens for Fall for students, faculty and staff on Friday, August 30 from 4-5:30pm. The Pantry is located in the DeMotte Room in Egbert Hall which can be accessed by taking the stairs to the left of the information desk down one level or from outside the building by using the stairs from the upper quads or the academic quad that lead to the back of Egbert Hall.
The pantry has a wide variety of food staples including refrigerated and frozen items as well as personal care items and paper products.
Fall Hours will be Tuesdays from 6-7pm and Fridays from 4-5:30pm.
Shoppers who bring a reusable bag when they shop will be entered to win a monthly drawing of food and cooking related items.
Shoppers are limited to one standard size reusable grocery bag each time they shop so that we have enough supplies for all shoppers.
Volunteers are needed to staff the Pantry! It's a simple volunteer position - and will be one of the most rewarding things you spend time doing this semester. Faculty, staff and students are welcome as volunteers. We will provide all the training you need (which is minimal) . If you are interested, please go here to sign up.
More information on IC's ongoing efforts to ensure food security can be found here.
