Huskers Helping Huskers Pantry+ is a new resource for students who struggle with food and/or shelter insecurity. What does food and shelter insecurity look like?
-You don't have a permanent place to live and you're couch surfing
-You don't have a permanent place to live and live at your workplace or on the street
-You live on-campus during the school year, but you're homeless during breaks and the summer
-You are at risk of eviction from your home
-You can't afford to buy healthy food to eat
-You can't afford food at the end of the month when you're waiting for your next paycheck
-You can only afford to spend a very small amount of money each week on food
-You skip meals or eat snacks for meals because you can't afford more
-You have to choose between paying bills and buying enough food
If you or your friends can relate to any of these situations, the pantry is here to help whether it's one time or once a week. We have free food, hygiene items, school supplies, and more for students in need. We can also connect you to other UNL and community resources. All you have to do is show your Ncard so we can verify you're a current student. Come visit us in room 348 in the union! For more information and our hours, check out our website at pantry.unl.edu.
