Gratuitous Rations (free food) Updatable Bulletin (GRUB) is a place where the Case Western Reserve community, mainly the poor graduate students, can communicate instances of free food around campus. Previously this has been done simply by running around the department sounding the sirens of free food whenever detected. This page is an attempt to make these sirens louder to reach the entire campus community!

Being a member of GRUB carries three duties - detection, reception, and smashing action:

1. Turn on your free food sensors! If a detection is made, immediately come to GRUB to alert other members of the event.
2. Watch this page (for help on watching Case Wiki pages go to Help:Watching) so that you can receive email notifications of free food events around campus discovered by other members of GRUB. Note that you must reset your notifications each time you get one by logging in and viewing this page otherwise you will cease to receive them.
3. Go to the event and stuff yourself silly with all the glory that a graduate student should!
