There are many ways to get involved with the Huskie Food Pantry, and we're grateful for all our volunteers.
We're always in need of donations of food items and always appreciative of monetary donations. Learn how to make a donation.
If you've got room in your schedule, consider volunteering at the pantry. Our wonderful volunteers stock shelves, assist clients and more.
We also welcome you to partner with us by organizing a food drive. It's a rewarding way to work together and make a difference in the lives of many students.
