Husker Pantry, a vital resource for students at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, is continuing its mission to support those facing food and hygiene insecurity on campus.
Community support plays a crucial role in keeping the Husker Pantry stocked and operational.
Ways to contribute:
- Monetary donations: Financial contributions are always welcome. Donations can be made through the Husker Pantry website, where funds go directly toward purchasing food and essential items.
- Food and hygiene product drives: Organizing or participating in drives within RSOs, departments, etc. is a great way to collect non-perishable food items and hygiene products.
- Collection bins: Donating to the various bins on campus is a convenient way to donate unused and unexpired products. Bin locations are listed on the Husker Pantry website.
By supporting the Husker Pantry, the university community helps ensure that all students have access to essential resources, fostering a more inclusive and supportive campus environment.
