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.

DONATION DROP-OFF LOCATIONS

Please do not drop off at the pantry. Donation drive items can only be accepted at the following locations.

  • UConn Dining Commissary: 30 Gurleyville Rd, Storrs (M-F; 6am-4pm)
    • UConn Dining Main Office: Towers Residence Halls – Wade Building, 3384 Towers Loop Rd, Storrs
      (M-F; 8am-5pm) – a box is available in the lobby

OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP

  • Reusable Grocery Bags – The pantry is always in need of reusable grocery bags. Please consider donating new or gently used (stain-free) bags during our donation drives.
  • Monetary Donations – If you would like to support the Storrs Husky Harvest food pantry with a monetary donation, please visit the UConn Foundation page at www.foundation.uconn.edu/fund/uconn-storrs-campus-food-insecurity-fund
