*Please note that the thrift store is cash only! In addition, while we aim to have doors open for listed hours throughout the semester, the needs hub is student run and there are occasionally scheduling challenges to accommodate sickness, academics, and athletics.

If you are interested or in need of our Pantry services, please note that our Food Pantry Requests can be completed at any time and is embedded under resources on the student portal home page. If submitted when you are in the Community Needs Hub, our team will fill your bag on the spot and you can walk out with your goods.  If completed outside of operational hours, our team will fill the request once received and email or call you about coordinating a pick up time. 

In addition to the above, we want to express our gratitude to all the donors!  For those interested in donating clothing, hygiene items, or non-perishable food, we can receive donations during opening hours or in our donation bin located in the SLC on the 3rd floor (near the central entrance). Our space is small, and we do not have the ability to wash any items, so please make sure any donated clothing is clean and in good condition (no undergarments please!).
