Your Gift Makes an Impact

The Huskies Food Pantry relies on the support of our community in the form of donations and volunteers, so we can ensure current and future Huskies can focus on learning and not where their next meal will come from. 

We welcome community business sponsors to donate bulk foods, supplies, or services. Sponsor logos are displayed in our lobby and sponsoring organizations receive mentions on our social media accounts throughout the year.

If your organization is hosting a drive on our behalf, notify us so we can amplify it on our social media accounts. Contact the Food Pantry for our Toolkit, current needs, and potential templates.

In-Kind Donations

In addition to our usual "staples," current donation needs include culturally desired foods (i.e. Halal; Indian; African; Asian; etc.) and toiletries. Culturally desired foods can be found locally at Thao Market, Stop & Go, Mogadishu Market, Viet Tin, and more. For many other items, you can find them at low cost at Dollar Tree, Gopher Bargain Center, Walmart, Target, or online. 

Donations may be brought to the Huskies Food Pantry in Hill Hall Room 190. Or order online and ship directly to the pantry! We request you email us what you are sending so we can log your name and donation.
