LUC Food Pantries
The LUC food pantries are here to support students who need a little extra help, so they can focus on their academic success. Students are welcome to shop in-person weekly to get 3-4 days worth of food. We provide shelf-stable products at no cost to visitors. Our offerings vary based on donations and time of year.
Pantries are generally open anytime the building is open throughout the year. Holiday and break hours will be posted as needed. Students must be currently enrolled and provide a Loyola ID to access the pantries.

Food Pantry Amazon Wishlists
Our Amazon Wishlist is exactly what it sounds like… a wishlist! The beauty of our Amazon wishlist is that it allows us to show our alumni, donors, and friends what foods we need in the pantry, as we always strive to have a wide breadth and diversity of foods in the pantry. Simply donate by navigating to our wishlist by clicking on the link for the pantry you wish to donate to, adding items to your cart, and checking out like you regularly would on Amazon. It is that simple!
For LSC's Iggy's Cupboard, donate here. For HSC's pantry, donate here.
