The Food Pantry is supported by donations. Community members, employees and student organizations all give time, food donations, and funds to help fellow Redhawks. If you would like to contribute food items or make a monetary donation, or if you’d like to volunteer your time, we are excited to have your support.
If you have a small food donation, simply bring the items to the Redhawk Food Pantry anytime during our scheduled hours of operation.
For larger donations, please email us to arrange a drop-off time or the pantry can work to arrange a pickup. We are happy to work with you for picking up supplies in the Cape Girardeau/Jackson area.
