Seeking Donations for Cherokee Reservation Food Pantry

62

The Living Waters food pantry, which serves the Cherokee reservation in NC, is in sore straits as their Asheville warehouse was destroyed in the hurricane. The pantry has been a partner with TTU’s NSF grant program, Engendering the Spirit of Gadugi at the Food/Energy/Water Nexus. Dr. Troy Smith, Dr. Sabrina Buer, and student volunteers collected donations and delivered them to Cherokee two weeks ago. The history department office is currently accepting donations of food, cash, hygiene and cleaning products, and water for one more supply run on November 8. Please drop donations by 118 Henderson Hall- thank you. Contact Dr. Smith for details at tdsmith@tntech.edu.
