The University of Baltimore Campus Pantry was founded on the principle that no member of our community should experience hunger. Since its opening in October 2016, the Campus Pantry has provided over 41,000 lbs. of emergency food and supplies to students, staff, and faculty across campus. In order to continue to offer this resource, we need your help. 

Here’s how you can help:

Monetary Donations

While food donations are always welcome, financial contributions play a crucial role in replenishing staple products as needed. Thanks to special discounts from our partners, every dollar donated stretches further. By giving a monetary donation, you are enabling the Pantry to buy what is needed at a lower cost than in stores.  

Supply Donations

Non-perishable food and toiletry donations are always needed. We kindly ask that all donated food items be unexpired and in good condition. Throughout the year, the pantry also hosts food drives to help replenish supplies and ensure we can meet the needs of our students. However, all donations can be accepted by the Center for Student Engagement and Inclusion (SC 002) or through the blue donation bins in the lobby of each building.

The following toiletry items are most needed. Toiletries are in high demand and can be costly to obtain. 

  • Soap, Shampoo, Conditioner
  • Toilet Paper and Paper Towels
  • Deodorants
  • Assorted Menstrual Products
  • Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, and Oral Hygiene Products
  • Single-Use Detergent (e.g. pods or travel-size) 

The following food items are also welcome.

  • Shelf-Stable Meats (e.g. chicken or tuna)
  • Canned Fruit (“no sugar added” or “in 100% fruit juice” preferred)
  • Canned Veggies (“no salt added” or “low sodium” preferred)
  • Canned/Boxed Soup
  • Instant Meals
  • Packaged Snacks (e.g. granola bars, chip bags)
  • Healthy Breakfast foods (e.g. cereal)
  • Spices and Condiments
  • Baking and Cooking Ingredients (e.g. flour, sugar, oils)
  • Gluten-Free/Sugar-Free/Vegetarian/Vegan/Kosher/Halal Products
  • Baby Products (e.g. diapers, baby food)
