In-Kind Donations

Product donations are always welcome in the pantry! We accept non-perishable food items and hygiene/personal care products.

There are several locations on campus where you can drop off your donations. For larger quantities, please coordinate a time with our office for receiving your donation.

In line with our beliefs, we do not keep pork, pork by products, or shellfish in the pantry. If these items are donated, we donate them to other community pantries who serve the larger community.

What NOT to Donate

Expired Food

When considering what to donate, thank about what you'd be comfortable serving your family. Chances are you don't eat food that's past its "used-by" or "sell-by" date, so avoid donating anything past those dates as it could be unsafe.

Leftovers

While it may be tempting to want to share the bountiful food from big meals like Thanksgiving, it's best to keep leftovers for family. We are unable to accept leftovers or anything made in personal kitchens because they aren't individually sealed and we cannot verify the ingredients or preparation process.

Food With Packaging Concerns

This includes food with damaged packaging such as dented or bloated cans, packaging that is already open, or rusted. A good rule of thumb is if you wouldn't consider buying it new, don't donate it.

Baked Goods

Similar to leftovers, since food banks cannot confirm your baked goods.

"If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother, but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs." (Deuteronomy 15:7-8)
