REGISTRATION
FORM – FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2023-2024
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
The ASI Food Pantry provides basic necessities such as:
non-perishables, fresh produce, and
toiletries. 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.
Volunteer
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the ASI Food
Pantry! We can’t do this work alone!
Volunteers Needed for Greeting, Stocking, Inspection, and Washing
With guidance and training from staff, volunteers work in teams
to assist students during open hours and behind-the-scenes across
our facilities. The ASI Food Pantry is open MTRF
11:30am-3pm and W 11:30am-6pm.
Volunteer Drivers Needed
We are also seeking volunteer drivers and route partners to
support our food recovery program. Two volunteers work as a team
to pick up donations from grocery stores, bakeries, and the
Sacramento Food Bank. Volunteer drivers operate a cargo
van (no CDL required) and must be comfortable repeatedly
lifting and carrying 10-40 pounds, standing and kneeling.
The route begins at Sacramento State in the morning on
Monday’s at 7:30am and lasts 2.5 hours. We are seeking a 4
month commitment for volunteers who can help three to four
times per month. If you are interested, please contact Ryan
Choi: ryan.choi@csus.edu
or 916.278.3978 (call/voicemail).

Location (University Union)
Lockers
The purpose of these lockers is to increase
accessibility to the ASI Food Pantry by allowing students to pick
up food outside of the Food Pantry’s opening hours.
Orders must be placed at least 24 hours before the scheduled
pick-up time.
This is a great option for students with a busy schedule.
Please note that utilizing the lockers will count as your
weekly visit.
Pick up times are limited to the University Union’s
opening hours.
The ASI Food Pantry Lockers are located on the first floor of the
University Union next between The Store and the ASI SEO
Office.
