      Providence Food Pantry

      The Providence Food Pantry at La Roche University is dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of our campus community by helping address food insecurity. We understand that challenges around food access can happen for many reasons, and we are here to help ensure that students, faculty, and staff have reliable access to nutritious food and essential household items when they need them.

      Our goal is to provide a welcoming, respectful, and confidential space where members of our community can access support and learn about additional campus and community resources.

      Our Commitment (This can be condensed or removed)

      Access to food is an important part of overall wellbeing and academic success. The Providence Food Pantry works to make support accessible and approachable by:

      • Providing food and essential items at no cost
      • Offering flexible options when scheduled hours are not convenient
      • Respecting individual needs, privacy, and choice
      • Encouraging sustainability and responsible use of resources

      We believe that when basic needs are met, individuals are better able to focus on learning, teaching, and contributing to the campus community.

      Who We Serve

      The Pantry is open to all members of the La Roche University community, including:

      • Undergraduate and graduate students
      • Faculty
