The Pantry is an important on-campus resource, providing a secure food source for students in need. Last year, the program provided 517 hampers to 374 students. Last year, the United Way Committee’s food drive raised over $4,000 in groceries to fill the Pantry. That’s 70 hampers containing 10-12 days of food!

This year, we look forward to assisting even more students, with the help of your donations.
