The Food Pantry, located in The COVE on the second floor of the Student Union, serves many individuals in the UWL campus community. For that reason, it is a vital source of nutritional assistance for many. In order to pursue our commitment to meeting the essential needs of students, it is crucial that we keep our pantry fully stocked with food and hygiene supplies. That way, we can continue to meet the needs of individuals so that they can continue their academic success. 

That is why, every month, we host a food drive to collect donations for our pantry! The particular theme for our February Food Drive is rice and beans, but of course, we are happy to accept food donations of any kind.

If you are interested in donating to the pantry, you can drop your items off at the front desk of The Cove! Items needed:

-Rice and beans
-Canned items (corn, fruit, etc.)
-Peanut butter
-Jelly
-Pasta
-Pasta sauce
-Condiments
-Breakfast items
-Shelf-stable snacks 

If your office or department or student organization would like to participate in the Monthly Food Drive for the Food Pantry, please complete this form and the Leadership and Involvement Center will contact you! We will be collecting donations from departments and offices during the first week of March. 

Thank you for your time, and we look forward to all of the donations that we will receive for our students!
