Donate to the LLCC Food Pantry
LLCC Student Life needs your help! At present, the LLCC Food Pantry is bare to the bones and requires the generous support of its faculty and staff to help fill up its shelves again. To help meet the student body’s needs, we are asking faculty and staff to donate to the Food Pantry.
What types of food donations can we accept, you ask? Well, Student Life can accept ready-to-eat meals essentially. Did you know that the Food Pantry also accepts donations of non-food items? We can! All donations should be in their original packaging listing the “use by,” “sell by” or “best if used by” date as this will assist us in ensuring we comply with USDA guidelines.
