**Center for Service & Action's Food Pantry (See University Resources/Item #2)
- Pantry is for low-income students and students experiencing financial hardships.
- The pantry consists of non-perishables, which includes tuna, spam, oatmeal / cornflakes, mac & cheese, canned goods (Chef Boyardee, fruits, vegetables), pop tarts, trail mix, peanut butter, popcorn, juice, water, sodas.
- There is an honor system, so students can go in during open hours and take what they need.
- The pantry provides bags so students can carry their items discreetly.
- To donate food to CSA's food pantry, CSA would prefer that donations come to them directly (not left in the pantry), so they can keep an inventory. You can also donate through CSA's Amazon Wish List account. Go to Amazon and find CSA's wish list - LMU Food Pantry Wish List - under "Find a List or Registry."
