You can help support members of the Iowa community facing food insecurity! The Food Pantry at Iowa relies on volunteers to operate and invites UI staff to sign up for shifts over the fall and winter breaks when many students are away from campus. Staff Councilors can sign up at the link received from the Community Outreach Committee. UI staff can reach out to their council representative or email studorg-foodpantry@uiowa.edu if interested in volunteering.
You can support the Food Pantry through donations in several different ways, too.
Donate items:
- Basic Needs at Iowa Amazon Wish List (Items purchased from the wish list will ship directly to the Food Pantry.)
- Drop Off unopened, non-perishable food and hygiene products at the cart near the food pantry on the IMU ground floor.
