We’re coming together to support our campus food pantry and resource center, Lift Up Vikes! (LUV!), which provides access to food and essentials to thousands each year. All guests are asked to bring food items, toiletries and more to help stock the shelves.

Your support will ensure that students won’t need to worry about the basics to survive and give them the opportunity to thrive. Because when we lift one Viking, we lift us all.

Here’s what we’re looking for you to provide.

Body wash, shampoo & conditioner, soap, feminine hygiene products, toothpaste, toilet paper, deodorant and antiperspirants, dental floss, mouthwash
