Little SHU Pantry Proposed by LAS 441 MW 12:45 class
Student Food Pantry As a class we are presenting the idea of a Student food pantry. We feel there is a need for a place where food insecure students can obtain food during times that the University Center and SHU shop are not open as well as if they no longer have enough through the meal plan. The pantry s intended user would be those students who financially cannot afford to go and purchase food when they are hungry.
