Clyde’s Cupboard at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) is a 100% donation based and non-need based food pantry on campus that provides free food and toiletries for all enrolled UCCS students.

In a recent NCHA-ACHA survey done at UCCS, nearly half of UCCS students reported they are facing food insecurity, meaning they have missed meals because of lack of funds or have faced hard choices between paying bills or buying groceries.

Clyde’s Cupboard aims to help those students in need while also making every student feel safe and comfortable to visit and utilize our services.

Mountain Lion Meals - In collaboration with Dining and Hospitality Services, and with support from the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Office, Clyde's Cupboard can offer students free meals through our Mountain Lion Meals Program. Mountain Lion Meals was created to provide up to three free meals each week to UCCS students at one of our on-campus dining halls, the Roaring Fork or The Lodge. This program is a first come, first served program with a limited number of meals to be distributed each week during the Fall and Spring semesters.

Fresh Food Fridays - In an effort to provide healthy and nutritious options to students, Clyde's Cupboard will host Fresh Food Fridays throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. Students can pick up a selection of fresh food including vegetables, fruit, milk, bread, and more. Dates and times of the Fresh Food Fridays will be posted on Clyde's Cupboard social media accounts.
