Dream Center Food Drive

The Dream Center is collaborating with The Feed U Pantry!
With the increased usage of the pantry during COVID-19, we are in more need of the generous donations from our local community than ever. Because of COVID-19 and everyone working remotely, in-person food donations are not feasible during this time. As a result of this, we have created an easier method to accept donations through an Amazon food drive. During this time, we have requested high priority products and hope to supply our pantry with them as we receive donations. Please spread the word, as any donation helps, and we appreciate all of your support!

Feed U Pantry Info:
Who can use the pantry?
Anyone with a valid U card, including students, staff, and faculty.

Where is the pantry located?
The basement level of the A. Ray Olpin Union building.

How can I volunteer?
Applications are available here!
