From November 10–21, we’re collecting non-expired, non-perishable, and shelf-stable food items to benefit the University of Iowa Food Pantry, which provides essential resources to students, residents, fellows, and staff across campus.

Every donation—big or small—helps make a meaningful difference. Suggested items include canned fruits and vegetables, beans, soups, rice, pasta, canned meats or fish, baking and cooking mixes, baby food, and infant formula. 🥫

Donations can be dropped off in the Cullen Conference Room.
Let’s make an impact, together.
