I understand that food can only be picked up by the currently enrolled Grand Rapids Community
College student who completed this intake form and that this intake form is only good for one
academic term. Students must present their valid Raider Card and complete the intake form for
each academic term they wish to participate in the program. Food can be picked up once per
week when classes are in session (and one week following exams) using the two specific
GRCC bags. These bags will be provided on the first visit and must be brought back to receive
food on all future visits. The office cannot assist with storing or carrying any food bags for the
participating students and cannot allow students to come back after their check in to receive
additional items.
I understand that food I receive from the Grand Rapids Community College Food Pantry has been donated or purchased from several on-campus and off-campus partners and that none of
the parties or groups involved in the program make any guarantees as to the quality of the food
or its value for any particular purposes. Some of the food distributed at the Grand Rapids
Community College Food Pantry has surpassed its “best by” consumption date. The USDA
states that “best if used by or before” date is recommended for best flavor or quality. It is not a
purchase or safety date.
By completing this form, I release Grand Rapids Community College, and the original donor
from any liability or harm (including injury or death) or losses in connection with the food or
supplies I have received. I assume any risks and covenant not to sue the released parties with
respect to such harm or losses.
I understand that the Grand Rapids Community College Food Pantry operates on limited funds
and by support of others. I will only request and take items that I reasonably expect myself
and/or my family to use. I understand that this is a volunteer program run by donations. We
cannot guarantee that we will have food available, but we can suggest additional
locations/resources.
I understand that the failure to comply with the GRCC Student Food Pantry terms and
conditions for eligibility and participation could cause my access to the food pantry to be
revoked.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
