SHSU Volunteer Interest Form

Are you interested in a meaningful volunteer opportunity that benefits your fellow Bearkats?  Volunteering with the SHSU Food Pantry is an excellent way to serve your SHSU community while getting the volunteer hours your organization needs.  Our greatest need is food donations, so we invite you to “Adopt the Pantry.”  Simply pick one of our distribution days for the semester and commit to organizing a food drive that will feed the students who will be served at the pantry on that distribution day.

Collect enough food to provide the following for a set number of students on a specific distribution day:

  • 3 grains
  • 4 proteins
  • 4 soups
  • 3 fruit
  • 4 vegetables
  • 1 beverage
  • 1 condiment/sauce

In addition to collecting the food, “Adopt the Pantry” includes bringing the food to the pantry.  Groups have the option of labeling and inventorying the food for additional service hours.

For student organizations: Any documentation that the Food Pantry needs to sign that lists how many service hours that an organization should receive for a food drive must come directly from the organization’s advisor.
