Food Drive for UW Food Share Pantry Scheduled Nov. 14

The University of Wyoming’s Service, Leadership and Community Engagement (SLCE) office will host a food drive for the UW Food Share Pantry Saturday, Nov. 14, from 1-6 p.m.

The UW Food Share Pantry was created through the combined efforts of the UW Food Security Task Force, the Associated Students of UW, the Dean of Students Office, the Sustainability Coalition and Laramie Interfaith. The goal of the UW Food Share Pantry is to provide the UW community with access to healthy food.

UW volunteers will be in Simpson Plaza on the UW campus to collect donations. Face coverings are required on the UW campus. Donors in vehicles can enter the driveway at 13th Street and Ivinson Avenue, and continue to the cul-de-sac where volunteers wearing masks and gloves will be waiting to assist them.

Preferred dry good donation items include starches, such as pasta and rice, cereal and breakfast foods, including oatmeal. Canned goods needed include meat, especially chicken, and pasta sauce. Snacks requested are granola bars, instant noodles and canned soups. Personal hygiene products also will be accepted.
