UIC students come from diverse backgrounds and our aim is to assist those who may be facing personal or financial hardship. It is especially important that during these college years that all students are healthy and able to focus by always having enough to eat. Research shows that proper nutrition is critical for cognitive function and memory. Food is a basic human right. Pop-Up Pantry Fall 2020 Location: Student Center East Tower, Room 603
