Help us support the UIC Pop-Up Pantry during Healthy Campus Week 2024!
We're collecting non-perishable food, toiletries, and period products to help UIC students who are experiencing food insecurity. The Pop-Up Pantry serves over 200 students weekly, distributing around 11,000 bags of food annually. Your contributions directly impact their academic success by ensuring they have access to essential resources.

Accepted Donations:
Non-perishable food items (must be in cans, cartons, or bags, unopened, and within the expiration date):
-Peanut butter & jelly
-Rice & pasta
-Canned fish, meat, beans, and vegetables
-Cereal, oatmeal, breakfast/snack bars
-On-the-go/instant meals
-Pasta sauce & canned soup
-Toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, period products, toilet paper, etc.)

Important Guidelines:
-Items must be unopened and in their original container with the product label.
-Donations must be free of dents, rips, stains, moisture, and other forms of damage.
-We cannot accept fresh produce, perishable items, expired items, or candy/treats due to food safety regulations.

How to Donate:
Drop off your donations at one of the designated bins across campus (locations TBA) or directly at the Wellness Center.

Not on campus this day? Donations are accepted year-round, so you can contribute anytime.

Join us in making a difference during Healthy Campus Week and beyond, ensuring every student has access to the essentials they need to thrive!
