For Students

Civic Engagement Projects On & Off Campus 

 

Join the Community Service & Volunteer Opportunities group on MyIWU.

The CEL will post opportunities sent to IWU through local nonprofits and community groups. This is a great place to find current places to volunteer.

 

TITAN PANTRY:

The pantry is located in the Hansen Student Center in the lockers by the main floor restrooms. It is available during open building hours. Using the pantry is anonymous and all items are free.

Non-perishable food and hygiene items are collected throughout the year to keep the pantry well stocked. Here is a link to the Amazon Wish List for easy donations from anywhere. 

Please contact Courtney Turnbull (cturnbul@iwu.edu) in OSI with questions or if you want to host a collection drive.  

 

IWU PEACE GARDEN:

The Peace Garden is located just east (about 1 1/2 blocks) of the Welcome Center at the corner of Evans and University Avenue. The garden includes vegetables, fruits, herbs, flowers, and honey.

Our mission is to spread education about gathering and do our part to address the food desert situation in Bloomington. We grow vegetables, fruits, and berries which are sold at an on-campus farmers' market or get donated around the area. We also tie in cultural activities, as the earth and environmentalism encompass many cultures.
