Suggested Food Donations

Helping Out

Interested in helping out with some donations?  Please check out our volunteer page for information on how you can help.  The Food Pantry Project is another great way to help out and they provide a variety of food basket suggestions.

One of the things needed the most are non-food items, such as: paper products, household items, personal hygiene items, etc.

Cornucopia will also accept gift certificates, as well as cash donations, which are tax deductible.  Checks can be made out tithe Cornucopia Food Pantry or the United Campus Ministry.

 Below is a simple list of food that has been suggested for donating by various people who use the Cornucopia Food Pantry.  On the menu on the right are some quick links to various forms and on the left side are some useful tips on how to help out.

We are especially in need of peanut butter, household products, paper products, hygiene products (toothpaste, soap, etc.), cold cereal, fresh produce, meat, eggs, and dairy products.  If you wish to donate please use our donation form (which includes instructions). You can also contact is by phone, email or visit us in person.
