How does the pantry work?

Students in need of emergency food assistance should visit the pantry during open hours and a volunteer will be there to assist.

If they have dependent children, they will need to provide the number of dependents and their ages. Information collected will be kept confidential.

Students may use the food pantry once per month. If a student needs the pantry more than one time per month, the student must have a faculty or staff referral or make an appointment with the Food Pantry Coordinator.
