Knights Food Pantry

The Knights Helping Knights Food Pantry was created by the UCF LEAD scholar students in 2009 to provide free food and necessities to any fellow student who was struggling. The Pantry serves about 6,000 students every month!

LIFE members have contributed to the Pantry through food drives and cash donations for many years. In Fall 2023-Spring 2024, LIFE members contributed 1,500lbs of dry goods and $6,530 in donations.  The LIFE board also makes a yearly monetary donation to the pantry.

LIFE members can pull their cars to the front of the curb past the dumpsters but before the shuttle stop. There is a small walkway to go straight and if you make a right, you will find the pantry. Two donation bins are outside on the left-hand side of the front door for contactless drop-off. Donations can dropped off during the hours of operation Monday-Friday 10am-6pm.  You can call 407-823-3663 if you need assistance.  Someone will come out to your car to collect your donations.

You can donate online directly to the Foundation at  www.ucffoundation.org/knightshelpingknights or you can mail a donation check to the pantry.  Endorse the check to Knights Helping Knights Pantry.
