Thank you for your support in this critical time while all of our student volunteers are busy making sure they fulfill their duties as students!

The UCB Basic Needs Center hybrid pantry model will continue to be a combination of the pop-up pantry and our more recent grocery bag pick up. All shifts take place at the Martin Luther King Jr Student Union at 2495 Bancroft Way, next to Lower Sproul Plaza. We will be receiving donations and deliveries in the Lower Sproul parking garage and utilizing the existing pantry space in the BNorth basement for storage and packing. The pop-up pantry for visitors will be on the 1st floor. We need volunteers for restock, setting up the pop-up, staffing the pop-up, and continuing deliveries for immunocompromised members of our community.

There are risks due to COVID19 but we are taking necessary precautions and will ask everyone supporting in-person to fill out a daily symptom screener: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fabout%2Fsymptoms.html

Health and safety protocols we will ask of everyone include: wear a mask, wash hands/use hand sanitizer regularly, and wear gloves (provided). More details here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18Up58xEOCkuO_zvwxzuSLTcGnWDGO4wN4M9KdeaFeeM/edit?usp=sharing
