King Hall to Participate in Spring 2018 "Adopt a Week" Program for UC Davis Pantry

UC Davis School of Law faculty, staff and students had great success in participating in "adopt a week" in the fall of 2017. More than three dozen members of the King Hall community volunteered to help at The Pantry, an on-campus food bank. This spring, the UC Davis School of Law will take part in this week-long volunteer effort once again from April 23 to April 27.

Volunteer work duties range from stocking shelves to assisting with food distribution and front desk service. The mission of The Pantry is to aid UC Davis students in their pursuit of higher education by ensuring that no student ever has to miss a meal or go without basic necessities due to financial reasons. The Pantry can provide up to three meals or personal items a day for UC Davis students who show a UC Davis identification card.

Volunteers are still needed to sign-up for one-hour shifts to work at the food bank. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up here.

In addition, King Hall will also have a canned/non-perishable food drive. The School of Law will have collection barrels located in the Deans’ Office, Library and Career Services lobby. All donations will benefit the Pantry. The Pantry is in need of the following:

  • All canned goods including: vegetables and fruits, beans, soup, chili, meats, fish, etc.
