CARDINAL CUPBOARD

The Cardinal Cupboard is a free food pantry on campus for all students, faculty, and staff. We support all members of our Cardinal Community, so whether you are struggling financially and finding it difficult to purchase food, you want a healthy snack between classes, or you’re looking for some fresh produce to supplement what you have at home, we’ve got you covered!

The Cardinal Cupboard is located on the 3rd floor of the Swain Student Activities Center (2100 S. Floyd St.), Room W312.

If you have questions or need assistance, email elsbccfp@louisville.edu.
