How It Works
The Community Cupboard provides non-perishable food items, grocery store gift cards, and Ullman Commons guest meals to any current Cal Lutheran student who may need additional support.
We ask nothing of students in return, except that you take only what you need and leave the rest for others.
Location: Samuelson Chapel, Lounge
Hours: 24 hours per day, 7 days per week — please contact Campus Safety for assistance
Sodexo, Swipe Out Hunger, and Cal Lutheran have partnered to fight food insecurity by creating a Meal Swipe Bank for food insecure students.
Students may request meal swipes by submitting a Meal Request form. Upon submitting the form, meal swipes are distributed to student ID cards, and meals can be redeemed by swiping in at Ullman Commons as "Guest Meals."
It may take up to 48 hours (M-F) for Guest Meals to be added to student ID cards. Once meals have been added, students receive a confirmation email.
If your gift is meant for a specific area of support (e.g., gift cards, starter kits), please indicate which area in the "Leave a Comment" section.
