Donate Food or Organize a Food Drive
Donations of food and other items empowers The Store to generously support more and more Baylor students. We always welcome donations from individuals, student and community groups and even whole classes.
1. Bring us something from our 'most-needed' items list
While we are always appreciative of anything you're able to give to The Store, there are items that just fly off the shelves and are among the things that make the biggest impact.
All donations can be brought down to the Office of Student Success and Engagement front desk located outside of the Store lobby area and we have our yellow donation lockers at your own convenience.

We also send 'urgent need requests' out to our community of supports via our newsletter, so sign up to stay informed.
2. Organize a Food Drive for The Store
You might be a member of faculty, a local church, student organization or department looking for a fun and meaningful way to celebrate a holiday, or engage your class, congregation, group or community. Organizing a food drive on behalf of the Store is a great way to do that!
Some faculty members have their classes bring us an item from our wish list for extra credit, or have multiple classes compete with one another to bring in the most food (we can keep track of, weigh and tally each classes contribution over a period of time). Different student organizations can compete with others in a similar way.
To make this as easy as possible, we've created a guide that walks you step-by-step through the process of organizing a successful donation drive for The Store.
If you have any questions about hosting a food drive with your group, please email: tre_baldwin@baylor.edu.
3. Host a Meal Prep Kit Packing Party
Another great way to get involved is to let us host you and your group (class, student organization, church life group, or friendship circle) for a Meal Kit packing party. We regularly put together meal prep kits for our students learning how to make their budget's stretch further by learning how to cook and use the items at The Store to their fullest potential.
Our packing parties are fun, impactful to both our guests and our students, and most of all a meaningful way to give back to the Baylor Community.
To learn more about our packing parties, or to make a reservation please email tre_baldwin@baylor.edu.
