Your on-campus food pantry.
Chauncey’s Cupboard offers free food and hygiene items for any member of the Champlain community who is experiencing food insecurity.
We offer nutritious emergency food and hygiene supplies while providing equitable treatment to all who visit the pantry. Both perishable and non-perishable items are available.
We offer walk-in hours during the academic year.
Find Chauncey’s Cupboard in the SD Ireland building, Room 010. Wondering where that is? Head down the stairs to the bottom floor.
Please note: Chauncey’s Cupboard is designed for students who live off campus. Students who live in campus housing and have an unlimited Carte Blanche meal plan should take advantage of the dining hall.
