Support the Huskies Food Pantry

Last year, the Huskies Food Pantry had 9,776 student visits and distributed 135,954 lbs of food. As we prepare for the upcoming academic year, we want to ensure the pantry shelves are fully stocked and ready to support Huskies! Consider supporting the Huskies Food Pantry by bringing a donation of shelf-stable food and personal care items to the President's Address Tuesday. Donations will be collected before and after the event or be dropped off in the Dean of Students Office (AMC 110) during business hours or at the Huskies Food Pantry (Miller Center 135) during hours of operation.  

Needed items: 

  • Baking Mixes (cake, muffins, bread, etc.)
  • Canned Fruits and Vegetables
  • Dish soap
  • Flour
  • Granola Bars
  • Spices and Seasonings
  • Sugar
  • Vegetable Oil
