Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Student LunchBox operates a coordinated campus distribution model based on the needs and capacity of each service location. SLB replenishes existing college food pantries and basic needs programs with recurring deliveries of food and essential goods. At campuses where additional access is needed, SLB also operates recurring farmers market-style mobile distributions that allow students to select items directly. SLB manages sourcing, warehousing, inventory preparation, transportation, delivery planning, and distribution standards, while designated campus teams coordinate local scheduling, student outreach, and access to the distribution site. Participant verification and intake procedures vary by distribution model. Some campus programs use current student identification as part of their check-in process, while TEFAP distributions follow applicable TEFAP eligibility and self-certification requirements. SLB maintains participation records across its distributions to document services provided and track program reach.
