Food Distribution Dates

Food will be distributed every other Wednesday and Thursday at the COX Welcome Desk in Burns Hall. View the food pantry distribution dates.

Donate Food

Typically, the pantry is in need of protein items such as canned chicken, tuna, ham, beef, as well as peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese, pasta, and other canned items such as ravioli, soup, fruit, etc. The pantry also has a refrigerator and freezer, so it can take fresh produce, dairy and frozen goods.
