Trojan Food Pantry Process:
In order to access the Trojan Food Pantry, we require students to complete the following intake form once per semester. Students will be responsible for showing a screenshot of the completed intake form during the first Trojan Food Pantry visit each term. Additionally, we are utilizing a card swipe system, which requires your physical USCard at every visit. Due to this process, we will not be able to accommodate students picking up groceries on behalf of their friends. Please also bring your own reusable bag during each visit.
