Food + Shelter Resources

How to use the Pantry Locations Donate Volunteer Resources
Husker Pantry Items

Food and shelter insecurities are an unfortunate reality for students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and nationwide.

Nearly 1 in 3 students on our campus worries about not having enough food until they get money to buy more.

If you can identify with any of the following statements, Husker Pantry can assist and help you.

  • You don't have a permanent place to live and you're couch surfing
  • You don't have a permanent place to live and live at your workplace or on the street
  • You live on-campus during the school year, but you're homeless during breaks and the summer
  • You are at risk of eviction from your home
  • You can't afford to buy healthy food to eat
  • You can't afford food at the end of the month when you're waiting for your next paycheck
  • You can only afford to spend a very small amount of money each week on food
  • You skip meals or eat snacks for meals because you can't afford more
  • You have to choose between paying bills and buying enough food

How to use the Pantry

Husker Pantry provides one-stop locations to assist UNL students with free food and hygiene items, and to connect with university and community resources related to food and shelter insecurity. Any current student in need can utilize the Pantry's services.

What to bring when you visit a pantry location:

  • Your NCard as verification you are a currently-enrolled Nebraska student
  • A bag, backpack, or box to carry your items to your residence. The pantry offers handled paper bags at no cost, too.
