The A.S. Food Bank provides free produce, pantry staples, and basic care products to the diverse UCSB community. Led by a group of passionate students, the Food Bank aims to tackle food insecurity on campus while continually raising awareness on issues surrounding food, sustainability, and social justice. We offer a safe, inclusive space for all students— as well as confidentiality in our services.

Founded in April 2011, the AS Food Bank has served UCSB’s diverse community since its creation. From humble beginnings of servicing only 5 students during our first week of operation, we now currently serve over 25% of the entire UCSB student population.
