We have opened a food pantry at 2nd Street for any members of our Latin community facing food insecurity. Read more about how to contribute to the pantry.
How can I contribute to the pantry?
We have received SO many donations for our new food pantry at 2nd Street. To everyone who generously donated goods or a purchase from the wish list- THANK YOU! The pantry is brimming with non-perishables and hygiene items. While we are always happy to accept donations (Tuesdays or through the Amazon wish list), the pantry is well stocked at the moment. We want to keep the pantry open all spring, so please hold donations for now – but keep it in mind for the coming weeks. We will let you know when we need more.

How can I access the pantry?
The food pantry will be on open on every Thursday from 3:15 – 6:00 pm (while supplies last) in the MPR foyer. It will be available to any member of the Latin community, including faculty, who feels they are in need of supplemental pantry supplies; there is no other verification needed!
Families can choose a pre-packed bag of common essentials (pasta, rice, tortillas, canned meats, canned tomatoes, canned vegetables and fruits, breakfast cereal or oats, granola bars etc.) OR families can select their most-needed items from the pantry. One bag per family per week.
