Bruin Pantries
FAQ
- The Bruin Pantry is a brick-and-mortar food pantry designed to address food insecurity among students, staff and faculty at Salt Lake Community College.
- Unlike other food pantries in the valley, the Bruin Pantry operates like a grocery store, allowing patrons to browse the isles and collect items they need, on their own.
- The Bruin Pantry receives a weekly donation of food from the Utah Food Bank and Utah Grocery Rescue programs to supply food to all five pantry locations.
