Caring Cabinets

Leave What You Can - Take What You Need

The shelves are located underneath the microwaves in the students' kitchen area off of the second floor atrium, a few feet down from the Centennial Room. These cabinets are available to all CVM community members, including students, staff, and faculty.

All are encouraged to: 

  • Leave non-perishable, un-expired, un-opened food in cans, boxes, jars, bottles and sealed packets. 
  • If you would like to make a monetary donation to help keep the Caring Cabinets full, you can do so using this secure "Giving at Cornell" page.
  • Freely take what you need.

For additional ways to obtain sufficient food in affordable, convenient ways, visit Cornell Health’s Affordable Food Resources page. 

Food is a basic human right. Helping to ensure that everyone has enough to eat is an immediate way to support others.
