*Spring hours will be Tuesdays from 6-7pm and Fridays from 4-5:30 pm.

The Pantry is located in the DeMotte Room (you can enter by going down the stairs to the left of the information desk in Phillips Hall or by using the back entrance to Phillips Hall closest to the upper quads and near the stairs that go up to the academic quad). The Pantry is open to any and all members of the IC community. There are no qualifications for this program.

Because we have limited space and limited supplies, we ask that those who come to the pantry use the following guidelines:

•bring a reusable grocery bag if you have one (if not we have some you can utilize)   

•each guest will be limited to one grocery bag so that we can ensure we have enough food to serve all       

The on-campus food pantry is seeking faculty, staff and student volunteers for the hours The Pantry will be open in the Spring. Interested volunteers can sign-up here.
