Beyond Food
What is the Beyond Food Program?
The Beyond Food Program and Food Pantry is a holistic program that utilizes the expertise of various on and off campus resources in assisting 麻豆女郎 students in need to raise their food security level to persist toward academic success. Furthermore, based on the availability of donations we would like to serve any 麻豆女郎 student by providing a 3-day supply of canned and/or non-perishable food to those experiencing food insecurity.
How do students receive assistance?
The Beyond Food Program and Food Pantry operates primarily on the referrals from 麻豆女郎 faculty, staff, and fellow students who have identified students with temporary food assistance needs. To refer a student, please select the 鈥淩efer鈥 option on this page. When referring a student, please make them aware that a member of the Beyond Food Program will be in contact with them.
If you are a student and are seeking assistance for yourself, please select the 鈥淩equest Assistance鈥 option on this page. The Beyond Food program is able to serve members of the 麻豆女郎 community by asking individuals to complete this Intake Form prior to meeting with a Beyond Food team member. This will allow us to better meet your needs and ensure we have the resources available. Once the request is processed (usually within 2 business days) you will be contacted to schedule a time to meet with a member of the Beyond Food Program team. Fulfillment of an emergency food pack is based on the availability of food items at time of assistance.
The Hot Meal Program is open to anyone and no identification will be requested.
Walk-up clients only can pick up a hot, nutritious meal Monday through Saturday in East Boca from 10:30 am - 12:30 pm.
Thank you to our Hot Meal Sponsors:
Mondays - City of Boca Raton
Tuesdays - Publix Super Market Charities, Inc.
Wednesdays - Anonymous
Saturdays - Newell Brands Employee Fund
