The Fall semester is almost here, and YOU can help ensure students are fueled for success!

The Laker Food Pantry is holding a Fall Food Drive to help combat food insecurity as students return to the classroom. The pantry is collecting non-perishable donations including canned soups and fruits, pastas, ramen, tortillas, dry grains, peanut butter, canned meats and protein, pasta sauces, salsas, boxed meals, cereal, bottled water and juice.

All food donations can be dropped off in designated boxes at each entrance of the Luther Student Center.

Want to make a monetary donation instead? Visit https://bit.ly/48UEffh and select "Student Food Bank" from the drop-down list.

Thank you for supporting our students!
