Thanks to the generosity of our community, we offer a welcoming space where students can easily access snacks, groceries and other essentials. We are proud to support our students' well-being and success.

- Monday: 10 - 11 a.m., 12 - 1:30 p.m.

The Hawk Box is a convenient option for access to snacks, small meals and toiletries 24/7 for students, faculty, staff and the community. Located just outside of the food pantry, the Hawk Box ensures that essential items are always within reach.
More Hawk Box locations are coming soon to make it even easier for students to get what they need, when they need and where they need it.
We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, including NPC staff, faculty, students
and community members. Volunteering at the pantry is a rewarding way to give back
and support your campus community. We offer flexible volunteer opportunities so you
can choose what fits your schedule best.
Community groups that volunteer with us will receive a certificate and pin in recognition
of their commitment to NPC.
