Founded in 2013, the food pantry is dedicated to relieving food insecurity at IU Indianapolis. Since its founding, Paws’ Pantry has distributed thousands of items to students, faculty, and staff, ensuring that no member of our campus community goes without essential food items.
As a campus-wide effort, we always welcome your help to keep it running. Volunteers are the heart of our work and directly impact the lives of our fellow Jaguars.
Paws’ Pantry welcomes IU Indianapolis students, staff, and faculty to join us. Whether you have an hour a week or just one afternoon to give, your help makes a difference.
