Funding
Financial donations play a vital role in helping us serve more students, faculty, and staff, hire student workers to run the pantry and expand our programming. We accept both cash and electronic donations.
To make a cash or check donation, visit the Accounting Office in the ASUN Center for Student Engagement, located on the 3rd Floor of the Joe Crowley Student Union. Your contribution will be processed and credited to the Pack Provisions account, and you'll receive a receipt for your records.
