Guild Pantry +
Free food support for Curtin students
When money is tight, having access to everyday food can make a real difference.
Guild Pantry + provides free food and pantry essentials for Curtin students experiencing financial hardship. The service is confidential, respectful and designed to help students through challenging periods.
Guild Pantry + is delivered through Student Assist, Curtin Student Guild's free support and advocacy service. We run the Pantry on a community-sharing model. Taking only what you need helps us support more students across our Curtin community.
Need food?
You can access Guild Pantry + through an online order or by booking an appointment.
To help us share food fairly across the student community, students can select up to 12 items per order.

Before submitting your order, please make sure you've selected 12 items or fewer. The submit button will only appear once your order is within the item limit.

What you need to know
Guild Pantry + is located in the Guild Building (106F) and is available to currently enrolled Curtin University students experiencing financial hardship.
Before visiting, please note:
- You can access Guild Pantry + up to two times per semester
- You can select up to 12 items per order, subject to individual product limits

Guild Pantry + provides short-term food support for students who need a helping hand.
If you need to access the Pantry more than twice in a semester, we'll ask you to meet with a Student Assist Officer. This gives us an opportunity to better understand your situation and connect you with any additional support that may help.

Donate to Guild Pantry +
Want to help support fellow students?
We welcome donations of non-perishable food items to help keep Guild Pantry + stocked.
Drop-off location:
Guild Reception, Building 106F
Monday to Friday
10:00am - 3:00pm
Smaller pack sizes are especially useful. Many students live independently and may not have access to a car, making large or bulk items difficult to transport and store.
If you're considering donating something outside our current wish list, please contact us before dropping it off.
Please note that we are not currently accepting hygiene product donations.
