Fundraising for Food Pantry

Food Pantry Fundraiser

Food insecurity affects millions of college students nationwide, including right here at DU. The DU Food Pantry offers weekly access to fresh and shelf-stable groceries for anyone with an active DU ID, ensuring students can focus on learning, not on where their next meal will come from. The Pantry is entirely donor-funded, and your contribution directly purchases high-demand items for our guests. Through our partnership with Food Bank of the Rockies, financial gifts go further helping us purchase fresh, usable food at a lower cost and reduce waste from expired donations. As the need grows, so does our commitment to meeting it, and we can't do it without you. Join us in supporting DU students today. Your gift fuels health, security, and academic success. Contact jerica.engle@du.edu for more information.
