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!

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

Fall 2024 Hours

Wednesdays: 10 AM-5:30 PM
