UTOutpost Food Donation | holly@utcatholic.org
UTOutpost is the on-campus food pantry serving University of Texas students.  Over 40% of UT students are food insecure, with requests for help doubling since the start of the pandemic.  Once each semester we host a Food Drive. We also always have collection bins in the Atrium and basement, right outside the elevator doors. High Protein/fiber foods (chickpeas, brown rice, canned chicken) and personal care items (shampoo, soap, razors) are in highest demand. To date, our community has collected over 2,100 pounds for UT students!
