Food Pantry
Providing Assistance for Students in Need
About
The 91传媒 Food Pantry is an initiative that is sponsored and supported by the Division of Student Affairs.
The Division of Student Affairs identified a need for a food pantry at W&L that aims to alleviate food insecurity among 91传媒 by providing emergency food to those in need.
The Food Pantry aims to:
- Create a safe space to distribute good quality and nutritious emergency food to current 91传媒.
- Collaborate with Campus Garden and Campus Kitchen to provide good quality and nutritious food items (donations) that may otherwise go to waste to enhance sustainability initiatives on campus.
- Raise awareness around hunger issues, especially as experienced by low-income college 91传媒.
- Encourage student engagement to foster a sense of community.
Donate
Donations of food items and funds for the purchase of quality food items are most welcome. The Food Pantry is made possible through the Division of Student Affairs and the generous support of faculty, staff, 91传媒, and friends.
