Seasoned with spice, served with purpose

This winter, we're turning up the heat on hunger! Join the Delta College Food Pantry for our annual Winter Learning Days fundraiser, where we're focusing on something often overlooked but essential to every meal – flavor.
Many students facing food insecurity have access to basic staples but lack the spices and seasonings that transform simple ingredients into satisfying, delicious meals. This year, we're asking you to help us stock our shelves with the flavors that make food enjoyable.

Most needed items: Hot sauce (ex: Franks, Tabasco), black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon pepper, chili powder, cumin, thyme, oregano, coriander, ginger, turmeric,  taco seasoning, salad dressing packets, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and other spices and seasonings.

We also welcome:

    • Non-perishable, unexpired food items
    • Monetary donations
    • Payroll deduction contributions

Your generous support helps us serve Delta College students experiencing food insecurity with dignity and care. Every donation – whether a bottle of hot sauce, non-perishable food or a monetary gift – makes a meaningful difference in a student's life.
