UA Little Holds Food Drive for Trojan Food Pantry
UA Little Rock’s welcome week ended on a good note with the Drive-Up Food Drive to benefit the Trojan Food Pantry.
Unfortunately, food insecurity is an international obstacle that many people suffer from. UA Little Rock is doing its part to help people in the campus community overcome this issue. This drive brought in carts full of nutritional goods to be distributed.
The Trojan Food Pantry is a service that the Chancellor’s Leadership Corps (CLC) program oversees and runs for faculty, staff, and students that may face food insecurity. Corrigan Revels, CLC coordinator, and other staff plan on running a food drive once a month with Tiffani Silvey as the primary contact.
“The collected food goes to users of the pantry, and it’s open to all faculty, staff, and students,” said Mary Beth Sanders, Chancellor’s Leadership Corps staff member. “We are happy to get donations anytime people have anything, feel free to reach out to us via email.”
If anyone would like to donate, you can email pantry@ualr.edu. The food donations needed are canned mixed vegetables, potatoes, vienna sausage, chicken noodle soup, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, bagged or canned beans, peanut butter & jelly, macaroni & cheese, and pasta noodles.
Food items can be requested from the food Pantry by submitting a food request form on their website or calling 501.916.6000.
