About

Pack Provisions is located on the 3rd floor of the Joe Crowley Student Union inside the Center for Student Engagement.

Joe Crowley Student Union: 1664 N Virginia St, Mail Stop 058, Reno, NV 89557

Mission: Pack Provisions is committed to ensuring that no current member of the Wolf Pack experiences food insecurity. The food pantry partners with the community to offer free, accessible food that supports full participation in academic and campus life.

Usage: Students, staff, and faculty can visit the pantry in person in the Center for Student Engagement and pick out food.  

Users must have an active NSHE ID number, present their Wolf Card, and fill out a survey each time they visit. The data provided in this survey is confidential and only the aggregate responses are reported to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. This data helps us to fundraise, stock the pantry, and improve the service. This service is not government funded. It is not considered a public charge benefit and will not affect the status of international students. This service does not require a social security number, state ID, or a passport to request services. This service does not impact financial aid awards.
