At R House Student Center, we believe no student should ever have to worry about their next meal. Our year-round food pantry is a safe, welcoming resource designed to combat food insecurity on campus. For some students, it's the primary source of their daily lunches, providing the nourishment they need to succeed.

Students are welcome to pick up essentials from our upstairs pantry during public hours (Monday–Friday, 7 a.m.–4 p.m.). Plus, our student kitchen, located downstairs off the dining room, is always open for you to prepare a meal and make yourself at home.

Your generosity is what keeps our pantry shelves stocked. If you'd like to help, please refer to the checklist below. We also have space in our refrigerator and freezer for perishable items, and we're happy to pick up your donation if you need us to.
