Free Food Markets are back! 

We are excited to announce that we will be continuing Free Food Markets, under the Student Basic Needs Project! For those who aren’t familiar, our Free Food Markets are pop-up, market style events that provide UAL students with direct access to free fresh produce, shelf-stable goods, and basic hygiene items. These events are open to all UAL students, with no eligibility criteria. All we ask is that you bring your own bag!
