Did you collegiettes know that we have a food pantry here at UCSD? It’s newly opened in the Old Student Center. It’s called the Triton Food Pantry and it provides a place for any student to get both fresh produce and non-perishable items. The Triton Food Pantry’s main goal is to provide food for students that may otherwise have to skip meals to save money. However, any UCSD student has access! So collegiettes, don’t go hungry. Head over to the food pantry if you are in need of some food!
Are you okay on food? Then you can help out your fellow students that aren’t! The Triton Food Pantry is entirely student run. There is actually a fun event happening on Saturday, April 18th, that will benefit the Triton Food Pantry! It’s called the Walk the Block Party. The event begins at 9 am and includes a 2 mile long course walk around campus and live DJ stations to keep you jamming and motivated. You also will receive a Walk the Block shirt, free food, and other goodies! On the registration form you can choose to donate more or dining dollars to the Triton Food Pantry! So why not have some fun and help out your community at the same time?!
