We are happy to announce that we will be expanding our hours of operation at our Medical Center location to include Mondays from 7-9PM in addition to our existing Tuesday and Friday 3-6PM slots. We recognize that there are a number of students at CUIMC who work long-hours, whether in labs, outside jobs, or in clinical shifts, which may preclude them from accessing the pantry in its current state. We hope that this will improve access and comfort for our fellow students espe...cially during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, if you would like to volunteer for these new hours, please email us at [email protected]
