CAS FACULTY/STAFF FALL FOOD DRIVE

Apply to Attend a Premier Global Technology Conference |
We welcome you to donate to the CAS Faculty/Staff Fall Food Drive to benefit the BU Food Pantry. Until September 22, you can drop off donations in the large bins in CAS 106 (725 Commonwealth Ave) from 9 am to 5 PM.
It is estimated that 30-50% of college students experience food insecurity. The Pantry receives many donations around the winter holidays, but it's often understocked in early fall, when students are just getting settled into their new homes in Boston. The pantry accepts anything listed on its website.
Learn more about supporting student food needs at BU and in the community here. Please contact Katie Hamel at katie44@bu.edu with any questions.
