The Food Pantry at Iowa is a student-run organization dedicated to supporting the basic needs of our Hawkeye community. Volunteering with us is a semester-long commitment, but we offer flexible scheduling to fit around your academic priorities. We ask volunteers to commit at least 1 hour per week, though we welcome anyone who wants to volunteer as much as 2-4 hours of their time weekly.

Volunteers can help during pantry operating hours and/or assist with inventory when deliveries arrive. During operating hours, you’ll supervise the pantry, greeting and assisting clients. For inventory shifts, you’ll help receive donations at the IMU, weighing donations and stocking pantry shelves.

In addition to FERPA training, all volunteers are required to complete an online ICON course to learn about duties, responsibilities, and expectations. If you’re ready to make a difference on campus, email us at studorg-foodpantry@uiowa.edu to get started!
