The HSC Student Food Pantry provides non-perishable & frozen food items to UGA CPH students struggling with food insecurity.

The Food Pantry is located in Wright Hall (100 Foster Road) on the UGA Health Sciences Campus and supported through donations provided by students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of the College of Public Health.

Services

The HSC Food Pantry provides a variety of non-perishable items such as canned soup, vegetables, breakfast items, canned meats, and snacks. We recently acquired a freezer that allows us to provide items like fruits, vegetables, pizza, pastas, and a variety of meals and sides. Help yourself to what you need.

The HSC Food Pantry is located on the first floor of Wright Hall in Room 120A (located in a suite to adjacent to the buildings main stairs.)  Hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; or 24/7 for students with Wright Hall access.

Want to make a food donation? The pantry accepts donations of non-perishable food in jars, cans and sealed packages. We recommend sauces, soups, beans, vegetables in cans or jars, pastas, honey, peanut butter, candy, boxed juices, life-long milk, coconut cream or fish in oil. Personal hygiene items are appreciation as well. Donation boxes can be found in B.S. Miller Hall, Wright Hall and Rhodes Hall on the HSC, or items can also be delivered to your department’s administrative representative. Frozen food items are also welcome, but please deliver these items directly to Wright Hall Room 120A.

In Feb. 2021, CPH Alumni Working Group member Kim Metcalf (BSEH ’93, MS ’96) donated a freezer to the food pantry allowing it to expand its offerings beyond shelf-stable items, while other members of the AWG donated start-up funds needed to fill the freezer with lots of goodies.
