Wood Center Food Pantry to open
October 22, 2013
Student Activities, along with many other campus partners, are preparing to open the
Wood Center Food Pantry. The mission of the Wood Center Food Pantry is to foster a
healthy UAF community by providing food and other resources to students in need.
Free supplemental food assistance will be provided to all UAF students to help ensure
they are able to have a secure source of food while maintaining their families, studies
and work.
Individuals can participate in the food pantry to help improve the lives of those
facing hunger at UAF. Donating food is a direct way to help. Create a habit of buying
a few extra cans when going to the grocery store, or when there are office pot-lucks,
bring a can food to donate, then drop these off at the Wood Center Food Pantry. Donations
are being accepted at the Wood Center front desk, and/or in red tubs labeled "food
pantry" at key locations on campus.
The food pantry is currently accepting donations of canned food, including: soup,
chicken, tuna, veggies, pasta, pasta sauce, ramen, granola bars and rice. The goal
is to have the pantry open in mid-November to coincide with National Homelessness
and Hunger Awareness Week. Nov. 16-24, 2013!
