Join us in giving back during Graduate Student Appreciation Week 2024 by participating in our week-long food drive for the Hitchcock Field and Fork Food Pantry!
About the Pantry: The Hitchcock Field & Fork Pantry aims to create a food-secure campus community, providing safe and nutritious food, education, and support for those facing food insecurity.
How You Can Help:
Items to Donate |
Check out our wish list for suggested food items to bring. [Click here for the wish list.] |
Drop-Off Location | Field and Fork Pantry, 564 Newell Drive (between McCarty Hall A and the Dairy Pond). Follow the signage to the back of the pantry for donation drop-offs. |

Why It Matters: Your contributions will keep the pantry stocked and support our graduate students at the University of Florida who rely on this vital resource.
Understanding Food Insecurity: Food insecurity is the lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. It can affect anyone, leading to fatigue, distraction, lack of focus, elevated stress, and physical hunger sensations.
