Chauncey's cupboard full of non-perishable food items

Chauncey’s Cupboard

Your on-campus food pantry.

Chauncey’s Cupboard offers free food and hygiene items for any member of the Champlain community who is experiencing food or other basic needs insecurity.

We supply nutritious emergency food and hygiene supplies while providing equitable treatment to all who visit the pantry. Both perishable and non-perishable items are available.

We offer walk-in hours during the academic year. Peruse our shelves and take home what you need! If you want to visit the Cupboard during school breaks, please email us at studentresources@champlain.edu to make an appointment.

Find us in the SD Ireland building, Room 010. Wondering where that is? Head down the stairs to the bottom floor.

Summer Hours

To make an appointment to visit the Cupboard during summer months, please contact studentresources@champlain.edu. You can also visit the Burlington community food pantry.
