Inventory
The Pantry strives to provide a wide assortment of nutritious, student-friendly food products. We specialize in the distribution of local, farm-direct, organic produce and foods.
The Pantry also provides hygiene and kitchen items like toothbrushes, tampons, condoms, baby products, kitchenware and soap.
Annually the Pantry distributes more than 60 tons of food to more than 4,000 students. Currently about half of the shelf stable food provided is strategically purchased through food bank and wholesale channels. The remaining is donated through the Chico Food Project, annual food drives, food rescue and direct donations.
Organic and sustainable grown produce is purchased through the University Farm’s Organic Vegetable Project and other regional produce distributors.
