Food Pantry
In partnership with Community Action Services and Food Bank, the Center runs an on-campus food pantry available for students, faculty, and staff struggling with any type of food insecurity.

UVU "You Can"
The UV “You Can” Food Pantry offers canned goods and boxed items. We also offer basic hygiene kits, and items such as baby formula, diapers, etc. However, these items are available only when our partner Community Action Services and Food Bank has them in stock. The UV "You Can" Food Pantry provides grocery bags for students to use during their visit.

Who can use it
Criteria: You must be a UVU student (taking at least 6 credits during the Fall/Spring semesters. During the Summer terms, students do not need to be enrolled in school to use the Food Pantry), faculty, or staff working at UVU. Additionally, you must sign a statement of need. Family includes dependents (under the age of 18 living at home) or spouse of the student.
Check-in procedures: You must check in at the front desk (SC 105) and complete the Intake Form and show your valid UVU student ID at your first visit. On subsequent visits, you will need to check in at the front desk and show your valid UVU student ID card.
Items to bring: A valid UVU student or faculty/staff ID.

Donations
Donations: If you are interested in donating non-perishable food items please donate the items to Community Action Services Food Bank located at 815 S. Freedom Blvd in Provo. The Center for Social Impact is not able to accept any food donations due to processing procedures. Community Action Services Food Bank processes all food donated and sends UVU items based on UVU's needs.
Food Drives: Various food drives are hosted on campus during the school year. You can donate your canned/boxed items to any of the marked bins throughout campus as well!
