Mobile Pantry dates for Spring 2026 are still being confirmed, but dates will tentatively be February 7, March 7, April 4, and May 2. All community members are welcome, and no student ID is required!

Otherwise, we follow the university closure calendar and are closed whenever the university is closed.
