SCC Food Pantry

Overcome food insecurity with bi-weekly grocery pick-up

We know you often face challenges beyond what’s going on in the classroom. That’s why we partner with RiverBend Food Bank to provide non-perishable items, fresh produce, dairy products and more to any currently enrolled student who signs up for the SCC Food Pantry.

The process is as easy.

How to sign up for the SCC Food Pantry

Register for the program

Get started by filling out a simple sign-up request form. If you’ve used the pantry before, you can skip this step.

Complete your grocery list

Fill out your grocery list by marking the items you’d like. Lists need be completed before 8 a.m. on the day of distribution. If you miss the deadline stop by the SCC Food Pantry in Room 1114 and talk to Marge.

Pick up your food

Curbside food pick up is available the first and third Wednesday of every month from 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. The pick-up zone is outside of Door 4. Just call the pantry at 563-441-4263 when you enter the parking lot and let us know what type of vehicle you’re driving. We’ll bring the box right out.

If you cannot make it during these hours, that’s okay. You may add one additional person to pick-up in your place. They’ll just need to show their ID before leaving with your box. You can add them to your grocery list. The name on their ID and the name you provide must match, so make sure to include their full name.

On your first pick up you will need to provide your class schedule.

What else you need to know

First-time pantry users

Once you’ve filled out and returned the sign-up request form, we will add you to the remind.com system. You will receive a text message from remind.com to sign-up for text alerts. If you’d like to receive messages about the pantry, you’ll need to accept to get messages from remind.com.

On your first pick up you will need to provide your class schedule.

Returning pantry users

If you have used the pantry in the past, you do need to submit a new sign-up request form.

On your first pick up of each new semester you will need to show your class schedule.

All pantry users

The SCC Pantry is staffed by volunteers from Our Savior Lutheran Church and food is delivered from the Riverbend Foodbank on the morning of distribution. The SCC Pantry is supported by Scott Community College and coordinated through the Dean of Students office.

You will need to show your current schedule and a photo ID the first time you use the pantry each semester.

The pantry may also close early if all orders have been picked up and no more students are scheduled to receive an order.

Food orders are only available on the dates listed. If your order is not picked up before 2:20 p.m., your food items will be returned to the shelves. We know life happens, so if you’re running late or will not be able to make it, please call the pantry at 563-441-4263 to let us know.

If you fail to pick up your food order without notification two times, you will be removed from the list. If you decide you want to use the pantry again, you’ll need to meet with the Dean of Students prior to sign-up.
