Did you know that 38% of the students on our campus are considered food insecure? Help the Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry lower this number as they commence our third annual Pack the Pantry Food Drive!
Pack the Pantry is Full Circle's largest food drive of the year, and they hope to gather 19,000 items from every corner of campus in order to assist those that deal with food insecurity in our very own community. During the week of Homecoming, the Full Circle Food Pantry will have donation bins located in every residence hall as well as various locations around campus! The bins will be decorated with flyers for Pack the Pantry and will be next to the entrances/exits in dorms. Feel free to drop off donations at any of these sites!
Please donate! The pantry's most needed items include soup, canned beans, canned fruit, canned meat, peanut butter, crackers, and personal hygiene items. The pantry will also accept any other form of donation through Friday, Nov. 8!
If you or your organization would like to participate or make a donation please contact fcdrives@uark.edu and check out our awesome Facebook page! Happy Homecoming!
