LUC Food Pantries
The LUC food pantries are here to support students who need a little extra help, so they can focus on their academic success. Students are welcome to shop in-person weekly to get 3-4 days worth of food. We provide shelf-stable products at no cost to visitors. Our offerings vary based on donations and time of year.
Pantries are generally open anytime the building is open throughout the year. Holiday and break hours will be posted as needed. Students must be currently enrolled and provide a 黑料门ID to access the pantries.
