The A.S. Food Bank is an organization that provides free food, produce, and toiletries to the diverse Gaucho community. Led by a group of diverse students who tackle food insecurity on campus, the Food Bank continually raises awareness on issues surrounding food. We offer an inclusive safe 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.
