Pantry outposts

Can't make it to the main pantry? BFB has five "Outposts" located around campus in:

Henderson Hall Room 224
Morgan Hall Room 236-B
Mabee Library
Memorial Union Underground
Village Commons

The BFB Outposts stock food items that are quick and easy to eat in the moment, commodity items that you might need right now like hygiene products, and a microwave. The BFB Outposts are super convenient when you do not have time to visit the main pantry.

These Outposts are open whenever the building they are located in is open and do not require that you interact with a staff person to collect your items. Like the main pantry, all of the items are free to those who need them.

Sack lunch program

The free BFB sack lunch program provides sack lunches to each of the outposts weekly when classes are in session. The sack lunches provide a variety of items including a main dish, a water bottle (often needed to make the main dish), 2-3 side dishes, a juice and a granola bar. Sack lunches have labels on the outside that list the flavor of the main dish and provide allergen information. Most of the main dishes need to be warmed which can be done in the microwave located in each outpost. Sack lunches come in a variety of flavors including vegan and vegetarian options.

Free dinning swipes program

You can order online and have your items shipped to your WU Tech campus. We ship to the Huntoon campus, WU Tech East and WU Tech Cosmetology.
