A woman wearing a gray hoodie and blue jeans is crouching down while selecting items from a shelf stocked with food and drinks. They are placing the items into a blue reusable bag with the logo "hawk cupboard. " the shelves contain various goods, including cereal boxes, pasta, canned goods, and bottled beverages.

We have partnered with River Bend Food Bank to provide perishable and non-perishable food to any BHC student.

Even if you feel you have enough to eat, sometimes redistributing financial resources can help. Feel free to visit either BHC food pantry and use the money you had reserved for food for a different need.
