Catholic Illini live out their faith through service to the campus community through the weekly Newman Shares! Food Pantry.

For students, by students, the Newman Shares! Food Pantry serves fresh and non-perishable grocery items as well as household goods and personal products through a partnership with the Eastern Illinois Foodbank.

The Newman Shares! Food Pantry is open each Wednesday of the regular academic year from 5:30-7:00 PM in the lower level of the Chapel.
