Pitchfork pantry

Who we are

The Pitchfork Pantry is a student-run food pantry that serves ALL ASU students. The Pitchfork Pantry serves to fight food insecurity and promote well-being, sustainability and food recovery. We provide packages containing a variety of non-perishable foods and toiletries.

How students can receive support

All current ASU students are eligible to receive assistance. Students must sign up for a package through the below button every time they visit either our Downtown or Tempe weekend pop-up markets. Any ASU student is able to receive food from either location, regardless of the campus at which the student regularly attends.

Students can now also go to designated UASP tutoring centers on the Downtown Phoenix, Polytechnic, West, and Tempe campuses to pick up a bag of non-perishable food items.
