Description: 

Basic Needs at Iowa provides free nutritious and healthy food for University of Iowa members. Food accessibility and affordability are important for college students to survive, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and concentrate on classes. We have a similar mission statement for clothing, which University of Iowa members should have access to professional and business casual clothes. We aim to increase access to quality, new or used, professional clothing at no cost. University of Iowa members volunteer to help with deliveries, stocking, client interactions, and leadership projects. 

Volunteer Opportunities: 

University of Iowa members or surrounding areas in Iowa City can be involved in volunteering at Basic Needs. Volunteers can be involved with the organization's effort through emailing studorg-Foodpantry@uiowa.edu to inquire about volunteering requirements, orientation, and scheduling. Other ways that volunteers can be involved are through organizing collaborative programming through donation drives and other events for advocacy and awareness.
