Support the Campus Pantry with the LSC

We're collecting donations for the holiday season. Bring or send yours by December 10th!

To celebrate the holiday season, the Language Science Center will be collecting food donations to support the UMD Campus Pantry. 

How to Donate

• Drop off in person: Bring your nonperishable items (refer to the needed item list below) to the Language Science Center (2130 H.J. Patterson Hall). 
• Shop the Amazon wishlist: Order items online through our wishlist here, and they will be shipped directly to the Language Science Center.

All donations must be received by December 10th, 2026 (the day of the LSC’s holiday party). This ensures that the pantry receives donations prior to when community members go home for the holidays.
