Bearcats Pantry

The Bearcats Pantry and Resource Center provided over 9,000 unique services to more than 2,200 students during the 2024-25 academic year. Without generous donors like you, this wouldn’t be possible. 

The Bearcats Pantry & Resource Center provides free, fresh and shelf-stable food; hygiene items; and household goods to those in need. They also offer the career closet which provides students with professional clothing, and meal vouchers that can be used at campus dining halls. Students can receive To-Go Bags which can be conveniently picked up at locations across campus and the BCP Connections works with students to connect them into other campus and community resources.

We are proud to offer locations at Clifton Campus, UC Clermont, and UC Blue Ash making it accessible to every UC student. After more than nine years of serving UC students, we are proud of what we have accomplished but we know there will always be another student who needs us.

When you give to the Bearcats Pantry & Resource Center you impact lives. Of the students surveyed, 82.5% said the pantry supplements their food or provides half of their food.
