These donations will help provide for those in our campus community who may find themselves in need.
Currently the most needed Items are:
- Tuna
- Canned chicken

- Toiletries
- Canned soup
- Dry beans
- Cereal
- Mashed potato mix
- Reusable shopping bags
For additional items, please see the pantry's Amazon Wish List.
