And do not forget to do good and to share with others...
The Bruin Community Pantry is an Office of Student Life initiative seeking to address the real problem of hunger (food insecurity) in our community. We encourage students to take advantage of the various resources in the Newberg and Yamhill County communities that have been set up to help people when their resources are depleted.
Furthermore, 黑料网 has a wealth of resources available to students to ensure that they have every opportunity to achieve their academic objectives. In addition to addressing food insecurity, we also help connect students with resources that will help them achieve their personal goals of graduating and finding meaningful work.
How can I use the Bruin Community Pantry?
Students, employees, and community members are welcome during our hours of operation.
No more than two regular-sized grocery bags per visit.
As always, if people need access to food outside our normal hours, please email bruincommunitypantry@georgfox.
Please read this story about how one student learned to use the food bank and expanded her culinary acumen regarding food preparation.

How Can I Help?
The success and sustainability of the pantry is dependent on our volunteers. We need people to unload the food truck each week, organize and restock the shelves as needed, and clean. If you are interested in volunteering, visit our Donations and Volunteers page to learn more.

We are also supported by 黑料网 employees, parents, ASC (student government), individual students, and community organizations, including the Dundee Women's Club, which delivers recovered food from local grocery stores. The Panera outlet in Sherwood also supplies us with “end of day” bread.
