National studies show that students in higher education are highly vulnerable to food and housing insecurity. We know this is the case at DU, as well. The University of Denver is dedicated to supporting our community.
The Food Pantry is entirely funded through donations. Any money donated goes directly to purchasing food for patrons.
We are proud to be a Hunger Relief Partner with Food Bank of the Rockies. The majority of our shelf-stable food is sourced through this partnership, with weekly pickups to ensure consistent support for our community. In addition, we collaborate with several local and campus partners who help make our work possible, including DU Dining by Sodexo, BeauJo’s Colorado Style Pizza, and King Soopers Community Rewards. Together, these partnerships allow us to expand access to food and better serve those in need.
