A new food pantry is set to help those in need at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, thanks to the work of the campus community and university organizations.
On Tuesday, Feb. 2, a large crowd of media, students, faculty, staff, and community leaders gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, kicking off the pantry’s inaugural week.
With the help of the campus community and university organizations, the new University of Arkansas at Little Rock Trojan Food Pantry will open 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Thursday beginning Feb. 4.
“It’s been a group effort on campus,” said Betsy Hart, assistant director of the UALR Community Connection Center. “Folks all over campus have been coming up to us, saying this has been a need for a long time.”
