HOW YOU CAN ASSIST THE PANTRY
PANTRY DONATION DRIVE: TOILETRIES
Toilet paper, tissues, deodorant, menstrual care products, razors, soap/shower gel/bodywash,
dental items (toothpaste, floss, toothbrushes), baby diapers and wipes
Clubs, orgs, offices on the Storrs campus are welcome to organize their own collection for the suggested items above. If you have a large number of items, please reach out via the contact form below to coordinate a pick-up with Dining.
Why donation drives? Donation drives allow us to manage the intake of donations for things like expiration dates and food recalls. Visitors to the pantry also let us know what items they are frequently looking for. Donation drives allow us to bring in these requested items that we’re not able to get from food banks/local organizations that supply the pantry.

- UConn Dining Commissary: 30 Gurleyville Rd, Storrs (M-F; 6am-4pm)
