About the UC Berkeley Food Pantry
The Food Pantry is an emergency relief program that is designed to meet the short-term food security needs of the UC Berkeley community, which includes all UC Berkeley students (undergraduate and graduate), staff, visiting scholars, student researchers, postdocs, and faculty who need food.
The pantry offer items such as rice, pasta, milk, cereal, freezer items, and fresh produce! They are 90% volunteer-run, almost entirely by students and serve thousands of visitors every month!

Food Pantry volunteers will help sort and box food donations at the Basic Needs Center at the UC Berkeley MLK Student Union. Working as a team, volunteers will check food for quality and repackage items to distribute to students on campus. This position does require standing and some volunteers may need to lift filled boxes up to 25 pounds.
Things to keep in mind:
- Please wear clothing that you will be comfortable moving around in.
- CLOSED-TOED SHOES ARE REQUIRED.
- Snack will be provided for volunteers
- Parking is limited and carpooling is encouraged.
