Care Packages
Surprise your student with a spring treat!

Spring 2025
This Calvin University 25-ounce barrel mug from Silipint includes Skittles, a coupon for one beverage at Peet’s Coffee (max value $5), and a personal note from you. This care package is only $15!
Why Silipint? They’re unbreakable, food-grade silicon containers which can hold hot and cold beverages, and they’re safe for the microwave, dishwasher, and freezer.
This gift will arrive between spring break and Easter break—encourage your student to keep studying hard…or to take a study break with friends! Limited quantities available—order today!
Fall 2024
See what we sent to hundreds of Calvin students this fall:
With the exception of care packages sent to Calvin's designated allergen-free floor, all packages will be the same!
Due to the complexity of assembling over 500 gifts, unfortunately we are unable to create custom packages. We do balance the types of snacks so there's no more than about 3–4 items that contain gluten or dairy. Encourage your student to share items with friends!
We choose a delicious variety of snacks for each semester's package. We won't purchase the exact snacks until after the order deadline when we know final quantities and what's in stock.
Yes, you may order a package for a student living locally who attends class on campus.
These students would come to a designated location on campus to pick up their care package. Unfortunately, we are unable to ship packages elsewhere.
We will send an email to students with pickup instructions. If packages are not claimed by the deadline date listed, packages will be donated.
Our Parent Council suggested this idea!
We will work with our student life leaders to identify students who could use extra love and encouragement.
If you would like to submit an order for an anonymous student, please submit an order this way:
