Campus Pantry

Student browsing shelves of canned foodThe Campus Pantry is free and available to currently-enrolled credit-seeking and AED students during our operational hours. To shop through September 19, 2025, check in at our front desk using your student H number. Our staff will orient you to our shopping guidelines, frequency and assist when requested. No proofs of income, benefits, or documents beyond your Harper College student ID card are required to use this service.

To shop beginning September 22, 2025, check in at our front desk using your H number and our team will facilitate adding you to the Greater Chicago Food Depository's intake system, Link2Feed, with a couple questions. Upon completion of Link2Feed registration, you will receive a Greater Chicago Food Depository card which you should bring to each campus pantry visit moving forward. If you already have a Greater Chicago Food Depository card, please bring it with you as no further action is required. No proofs of income, benefits, or documents beyond your Harper College student ID card and Greater Chicago Food Depository card are required to use this service.

As a Greater Chicago Food Depository pantry partner, Hawks Care Resource Center staff can connect you to pantry partners in your community where you can use your new Greater Chicago Food Depository card to get food.
