  • Food Pantry – Still Serving the Campus Community

    Through August 2020, the campus food pantry will serve folks out of the newly opened auxiliary pantry in the library.  If you find yourself in need of some extra help during this time of uncertainly, you can visit the front desk at the main library entrance, during their hours of operation, to receive 25 food items of your choice.  You may visit once a week for as long as you need assistance.  There is no need to pre-register at this time.  We have cut off the pre-registration process for the time being.
