Pulse Pantry (UOW Students ONLY)

Free pantry staple ingredients for currently enrolled UOW Students facing hardships.

The Pulse Pantry has been established to:
– Assist students facing hardship
– Provide a last-minute meal to students
– Continue supporting international students
– Help support students' wellbeing by reducing financial stress related to food and/or groceries

Pulse Pantry has been established with the support of UOW Village Grocer, Pulse Community Garden and OzHarvest. All food and sanitary items have been purchased from UOW Village Grocer, while the Pulse Community Garden donate some of their fresh produce from the garden on campus, as well as weekly donations from OzHarvest.

The pantry will have a shopping style layout, in that all stock will be available on shelves to ‘grab & go’ whilst also allowing students the ease of viewing what is available. Working on a points-based system, students will receive 10 points weekly.

The pantry will be run by Pulse staff, with the assistance of Pulse Volunteers who will be recognised for their contributions through UOWx hours.
