The Loper Pantry serves UNK students and employees suffering from food insecurity in a pursuit to ensure that no student's efforts to obtain a higher education are hindered by hunger. We strive to provide this service in a non-judgmental, dignified, welcoming, on-campus environment.
The Loper Pantry is located on the North side of the Nebraskan Student Union on UNK's campus.
Donation hours of the Loper Pantry are Monday through Friday, during the the regular academic term, 9am to 5pm. Please bring donations to the Office of Student Engagement and Leadership, room 142D in the Nebraskan Student Union.
Monetary gifts can be made through the UNK Fund by designating your gift to support the Loper Pantry.
