We are proud to announce the "Making Ends Meet" pilot initiative to help make healthy and affordable food more accessible to the GMS community. Through talking with many students over the last few months, a common concern is that students often struggle making ends meet each month. To that end, the donation-driven Community Cupboard will be available soon to help students offset living costs.
Located in suite L-306 of the Instructional Building near the GMS suite, the Community Cupboard will be accessible on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 3:00pm-5:00pm, starting this coming Tuesday, February 4th. Bring your own bag.
GMS students and post-doctoral fellows just need to bring their own bag and your BU ID to get access. Please reach out to
gmssa@bu.edu for questions.
