With the holiday season fast approaching, we invite you to join us in supporting UMass Lowell students in need through a food drive benefiting our on-campus food pantry. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.

UML's Strive Pantry serves more than 4,000 UML students, and during this month alone, the need for food has doubled. Strive provides fresh and shelf-stable foods, personal care items, school supplies and more to students who are struggling to meet their basic needs.

How to Donate:

  • Doorstep Donation: Fill out the doorstep donation form to have our team pick up your food pantry donations directly from your doorstep on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 2. Lowell residents only.
  • Amazon Wish List: Purchase much-needed items directly from the pantry’s wish list.
  • Give Directly: Make a financial contribution to the Strive Food Pantry.

Your generosity helps ensure that every River Hawk has access to the essentials they need. Thank you for supporting our students and strengthening our UMass Lowell community this holiday season.
