Louie’s Cupboard, campus food pantry Accordion Closed
The concept of a campus food pantry—Louie’s Cupboard—started with a class project geared towards social movements. Now each year we serve hundreds of students, staff, and faculty through biweekly food distributions. We provide nonperishable canned and boxed goods, fruit, meat, beans, pasta, and grains. We also now offer eggs, fresh fruits, vegetables, and bread.
