What is the Food Pantry Pop-up?

In partnership with Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, Stanford R&DE hosts monthly pop-up food pantries for undergraduate and graduate students and their affiliates who need additional food support. Each student household is eligible to receive produce, dairy, meat or poultry and non-perishable items at no cost. The pop-up events have included seasonally appropriate stone fruits, apples, squash, and greens, plus chicken, cheese, yogurt, milk, eggs, legumes, cereal, and peanut butter among other food items.

The next event is scheduled for Monday, May 13th from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at 740 Serra St. in the EVGR complex Building C outdoor patio area, next to the elevator for the underground parking lot. The deadline to register is Wednesday, May 8th at 12:00 p.m. Please bring your own grocery bags and transportation (e.g., wagon, stroller, cart, suitcase). Check out our FAQs to assist with some commonly asked questions. Parking will be extremely limited, vehicles parked illegally will be cited.

Registration will go live Friday May 3rd

In order to ensure a smooth and safe experience, the food pantry will operate as follows:

• Deadline to register is Wednesday, May 8th at 12:00 p.m.
• Food from Second Harvest will be served Farmers Market style with attendees able to select a variety of food staples, and produce. 
• If you are ill or have had a fever within 24 hours of the date of the event, you may not attend the food pantry. Please designate a proxy to pick up food on your behalf. Your proxy must arrive at the time originally selected. Please email Kahlil Wells at kain@stanford.edu if you need a proxy.
• If you need Kosher items, please indicate so in the sign-up form.

We do need volunteers for this Food Pantry! Please sign up here.
