2026 Back-to-School Drive
Our Shelves Are Empty — Help Us Restock!
Students are returning to campus, and the Comet Cupboard needs your help! The student-run food pantry provides essential food and personal hygiene items to Comets facing food insecurity. With an anticipated service of 600 student visits each week this school year, your support can make a real difference.
This time last year, generous supporters gave nearly $18,000, helping us launch our new Mobile Food Pantry, expand access to 24/7 to-go bags, increase fresh and refrigerated options and serve 2,800+ students through 14,5000 visits and distributing nearly 130,000 items — but shelves still ran low. This year, we aim to meet the rising demand and continue these vital initiatives.
The Mobile Food Pantry Makes a Big Impact.
Local partners have more to give but cannot always deliver. The mobile food pantry lets us collect donations, reach more students with pop-up locations and build stronger local partnerships.
Fresh Produce, Meat and Dairy is in High Demand
Refrigerated items are our most requested but run out quickly. Increased funding means more deliveries, more often.
Your Impact
Food insecurity severely impacts student performance. Your support helps students focus, stay enrolled and thrive — knowing their Comet community stands behind them.

Donate food like cereals, proteins and cooking basics (oil, salt, flour and sugar) and hygiene items. To date, the Comet Cupboard has logged over 16,500 volunteer hours and distributed more than 600,000 items!
