Our Mission

The ASI Food Pantry exists to provide food and basic necessities to Sac State students with financial hardships and low food security, at no cost. In addition to helping alleviate hunger within our student community, the ASI Food Pantry aims to decrease the negative impact that low food security has on the academic success of our students.

Eligibility, First-Timers

Currently enrolled Sac State students can shop at the ASI Food Pantry or place a locker order once per week.

At your first visit, you will need to bring your physical OneCard and complete our New User Registration Form, which helps us better understand your needs and provide referrals to other great campus resources.

Saalt Menstrual Cups, Discs, and Underwear

In April 2023, the ASI Food Pantry launched a pilot program to provide free reusable menstrual product to Sac State students. This pilot program was made possible by Student Affairs grant funding. Our staff taught 286 students how to use, clean, and store the products through in-person demos, tabling events, and at the 2023 Sac State Earth Day Sustainability Fair. We will update this page when we purchase more reusable menstrual products for distribution. For more information, please contact asi-foodpantry@csus.edu or by calling (916) 278-3978.

A big thank you to Saalt, a certified B-corp that creates sustainable period underwear and reusable period cups & discs, who was our partner in creating educational materials, program planning, and product distribution. More information about their products and mission here.
