Broadcasting Club Holding Campus Food Drive
Published on October 20, 2025
The Lake Land College Broadcasting Club is holding its 19th annual food drive to support the Lake Land College food pantry.
The club is accepting non-perishable food donations now through November 30. All individually packaged, non-perishable food items are accepted, with priority items including spices, seasonings, canned meats, pastas, peanut butter, canned soups, shelf-stable microwave meals, canned vegetables, fruits, cereals and granola bars.
Boxes are located around campus in the Luther Student Center, the Northwest Building, the Library and the West Building for people to drop off their donations.
All donations will be given to the Lake Land College food pantry to help in its mission of combating food insecurity among students and their families. Located in the Luther Student Center, the Lake Land College food pantry provides students with free food available for pickup or delivery.
The Laker Food Pantry accepts donations year-round. In addition to the Broadcasting Food Drive donation boxes, donations can be brought to the Student Wellness Center located in the Luther Student Center.
Anyone interested in supporting the Food Pantry with a financial contribution may do so either online or in-person. For online donations, visit the Lake Land College Foundation’s secure giving website and select “Student Food Bank” from the drop-down list of support options. For in-person financial donations, drop off a check or cash at the Foundation & Alumni Center office. Checks can be made payable to the Lake Land College Foundation with “Student Food Pantry” on the memo line.
The Lake Land College Broadcasting Club food drive is a part of the second annual Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) food drive, a friendly, state-wide competition among all Illinois community colleges to collect donations for local food banks. Last year, more than 91,000 total food items were donated throughout Illinois as a part of this initiative.
