Bearcats Pantry

Did you know the Bearcats Pantry (BCP) and Resource Center provided over 6,000 unique services to students during the 2022-23 academic year? 

The UC 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. Other programs also include Family First, Healthy Bites and our new community garden.

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 six 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.

When you support this program of impact, you're joining UC and countless others in a pledge to accelerate student success and lift up families and communities across Greater Cincinnati for generations to come. Click here to learn more about driving student success through philanthropy.  

UC and UC Health employees can give via payroll deduction today.
