WHERE is the pantry located?
Tuga Shelves is located in C112M, on the Key West Campus, and the Student Lounge at the Upper Keys Center. The Tuga Shelves are accessible by a pin keypad for privacy, safety, and accountability. Access is provided to currently enrolled students only. Students that identify their need will be provided the current pin for access. The pin is updated after the last day of classes at the end of each term (i.e., fall, spring, and summer).
WHO can access the pantry?
CFK students with an active student ID.
HOW can students access the pantry?
Students are required to self-identify by emailing tugashelves@cfk.edu. Minimal information, including CFK student ID to verify enrollment, will be accessed by Tuga Shelves program staff. Upon verification and review, completed after the initial request and each semester after, actively enrolled students will be provided with the current pin to access the pantry at the beginning of each semester.
WHEN can students access the pantry?
Students can access the pantry as soon as they receive the access code. Access is available 24/7
WHAT can students take from the pantry?
Each person’s needs may be different. Students are encouraged to take what is necessary to feel secure. Accountability and honesty are integral to its use and the continued success of this community's shared resources.
