“Hunger doesn’t know anybody’s stereotype; it just exists.”

The Pantry is a joint effort on campus, supported by the Basic Needs Advisory Board, co-chaired by Off-Campus Life and Community Service-Learning staff, and university and Harrisonburg community partners.

The Pantry is stocked with shelf-stable goods, some hygiene products, a limited selection of fresh produce from JMU Dining Services each week, as well as fresh bread. Options continue to grow and expand as we understand the needs of our community.

We are open to all JMU students, no questions asked.

Please consider bringing a much-needed donation for The Pantry at JMU.  There are several drop-off locations that accept donations year-round.

On Employee Appreciation Day, for your convenience, we will have a collection bin at Festival as well.
