ASA FOOD PANTRY
This is a free supplementary non-perishable food hamper meant to replace 25% to 35% of food costs for students, so their money can be spent on other bills (rent, tuition, etc.). Currently food hampers are being distributed once a month, and registration and applications are open to all current Augustana Students with a valid One Card.
​
**Due to high demand and the current feasibility, food hampers will only be given to students who do not have a meal plan.
A typical hamper contains:
-
$25 grocery card for fresh produce (while supplies last)
-
your choice of items from this food menu
​
Registration
Registering for your first food hamper is easy; just fill out the Food Pantry Registration Form below. Once the ASA gets the request we will contact you to confirm your registration and set up a pick up time on one of the specified days. If you a new client or are already registered with the ASA Food Pantry and have received a hamper before, please fill out the Food Pantry Request Form (found below).
