The IUP Food Pantry and Help Center will hold a summer food drive from Wednesday, July 5, until Friday, August 4. Donation bins will be stationed across campus at Sutton Hall (first floor), Elkin Hall, Zink Hall, and the library. 

Please help the FPHC by donating to serve students in need. The items donated will be used to stock the FPHC for the fall. Nonperishable food items, school supplies, personal hygiene items, and umbrellas are some items requested by the Center.
