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 RaiderCard 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.
