How can I support the Food Pantry?
Order items off of our Amazon Wish List
Items purchased through this wish list can be shipped directly to Lawrence University's Student Food Pantry on campus.
Donate Items in Person or by Mail
Lawrence University staff, faculty, and students can drop off items in-person in the Diversity & Intercultural Center kitchen located in Memorial Hall. Appointments can also be arranged by emailing diversitycenter@lawrence.edu. From there, inventory is recorded and the Pantry is replenished as supplies become available. Please refrain from dropping items off directly in the Pantry as inventory is recorded. The Pantry will not accept items that have been opened or are expired.
Donations can also be mailed to:
