The Beyond Food Program and Food Pantry operates primarily on the referrals from FAU Faculty, Staff, and fellow students who refer students who may need temporary assistance. The Beyond Food Program and Food Pantry is a holistic program that utilizes the expertise of various on and off campus resources in assisting students in need to raise their food security level to persist toward academic success. Furthermore, based on the availability of donations we would like to serve any student by providing a 3-day emergency supply of canned and/or non-perishable food to those experiencing food insecurity.
