Volunteering & Partners

Volunteers are able to help on an as-needed basis and build their own schedule. You can help us with events, such as our Monthly Mobile Food Pantries, help us with restocking days, or volunteer with us during our day-to-day operations. Email us at desresources@unt.edu to get started! 

Some volunteering tasks include:

• Organize bags of food for students based on their current order.
• Sort and shelf food storage
• Help receive donations and code them appropriately
• Check expiration dates for outdated food
• Distribute food to students using the food pantry

We love our campus partners! Through our campus partnership program, departments, student organizations, divisions, or groups are able to sign up to be a monthly sponsor. Each year, you will get to sign up for a month (or more) to sponsor the pantry. From there, it will be up to the discresion of your group to provide support for the food pantry how you see fit. Some examples include donation drives, events with food items as ticket entry,  internal competitions to rack up the most donations, etc. This is your opportunity to get creative! We are also able to provide guidance or suggestions on what may be possible for your area, and can supply items such as donation bins to help the process go smoothly.

Interested? Email us at desresources@unt.edu today! 

 Have an event or party coming up? One of the easiest ways to support the pantry is having each guest bring items to donate. Be sure to check out our most needed items to review what we need!

Monetary donations and mail-in donations are also accepted. Check out our donation page to learn more.
