Throughout the year the LLCC Food Pantry supports students experiencing food insecurity. As we enter a season of many holiday celebrations and traditions, often centered around food, the need becomes even more apparent. The 4th annual “Operation Full Belly” aims to provide students who elect to participate with many of the ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal.

Donations help to make Operation Fully Belly a success, and there is a signup sheet for the donations needed this year.

If you prefer to make an online monetary contribution for use to stock shelves now and throughout the year, please visit the donor page through the Foundation.

Although food donations will be accepted in the Student Office leading up to the break, we would love a crowd for the “Parade of Food” on Monday, Nov. 4 in A. Lincoln Commons. Gather around the perimeter with your donations around 9:45 a.m. that morning. Children from the Child Development Center will bring their wagons around to collect and deliver food to the Student Life Office!

If you have any questions, please reach out to the Student Life Office staff at studentlife@llcc.edu or (217) 782-2241.
