A brief description of the food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource:
The Max Baker Resource Center was launched by members of the UMass Chan Student Body Committee with significant support from James Baker, MD, MPH. The Resource Center is located in the Main School Building and is accessible only to students who can access donated nonperishable foods, frozen or refrigerated foods, personal hygiene products, household paper supplies, and school supplies confidentially. The MCRC partners with our Community Garden club to provide fresh veggies to users of the resource, grown right here on campus!
