November is here and the Center for Civic Leadership's efforts to enhance basic needs support continue to be in full swing! We are consolidating a few key areas below:

• Food Drive throughout November!  To help meet the needs of students and our wider community we have launched a November Food Drive Campaign. Seeking non-perishable food and hygiene items that we will use in both our on-campus student Food Pantry and to share with our regional pantries!  We are partnering with Veteran's United Club and Donations can be dropped:
  • Alfred Campus:
    • Community Needs Hub (ground floor of Braddon Hall),
    • Donation bin on the 3rd floor of SLC between the double doors that face the spine of campus
    • EJB student lounge
    • Cultural Life Center (SLC 401)
    • Global Engagement and Civic Wellbeing Office (SLC 416)
  • Wellsville Campus:
    • Freshman Auto (contact Eric Wilmont)
• Food for Fine Forgiveness Partnership Returns for remainder of semester!
  • A collaborative program between the Criminal Justice Club, University Police, and Civic Leadership.  Students with a parking fine can donate $10 worth of non-perishable food (make sure it isn't expired or close to expiration date!) to the Criminal Justice Suite (SLC 411) or the Community Needs Hub (ground floor of Braddon) to "pay" for one parking fine (limit to one fine relief per student per semester). This initiative will run through to the end of the Fall semester.
• SNAP - Our regional Nutrition Outreach and Education Program (NOEP) coordinator will continue to come to campus twice this month as we navigate national landscape regarding SNAP. Our NOEP coordinator offers support students who qualify for SNAP assistance navigate the process. She will be tabling in the SLC from 10-1 on:
  • November 7th & 20th
• Health Insurance Enrollment Support - if you need assistance identifying a good health insurance plan to meet your needs, we will have an enrollment navigator on campus from AIM Independent Living in the SLC parkspace from 11-1PM on:
  • November 11th
• Community Needs Hub - Our Civic Leadership team has the Community Needs Hub up and running for the fall semester! The thrift store and pantry are well-stocked and waiting for you to visit! For those that have yet check out our space, we are located on the ground floor of Braddon Hall and accessible through the two external doors that face the outer campus loop. Hours for fall semester are as follows:
  • Monday: 9-4
  • Tuesday: 9-6
  • Wednesday: 9-6
  • Thursday: 10-4
  • Friday: 9 – 4
  • Saturday: 10-4
  • Sunday: 10-4 

*Please note that the thrift store is cash only! In addition, while we aim to have doors open for listed hours throughout the semester, the needs hub is student run and there are occasionally scheduling challenges to accommodate sickness, academics, and athletics.

If you are interested or in need of our Pantry services, please note that our Food Pantry Requests can be completed at any time and is embedded under resources on the student portal home page. If submitted when you are in the Community Needs Hub, our team will fill your bag on the spot, and you can walk out with your goods.  If completed outside of operational hours, our team will fill the request once received and email or call you about coordinating a pickup time. 

We want to express our gratitude to all the donors!  Our food drive this November is to help get some added supplies to those in need, but we accept donations all the time. Those interested in donating clothing, we welcome winter and professionalwear at this time.  Please note that our Community Needs Hub space is small, and we do not have the ability to wash any items, so we ask that any donated clothing is clean and in good condition (no undergarments please!).   

• For questions regarding our pantry, please contact us at ThePlate@alfredstate.edu
• For any other Community Needs Hub or Civic involvement questions, please email civicengagement@alfredstate.edu.

Community Action Angels – Holiday Fund Raising Initiatives:

Alfred State is excited to embark on another construction project to make campus better for you. Pioneer Center is slated to begin a $16.1M renovation that upgrades everything from the fitness center to adding a new student dining experience inside the building, along with some less exciting but critically needed mechanical upgrades.  Beginning at Thanksgiving break, the small lot in front of Pioneer (37) where the food truck is parked will be closed and fenced to stage for the project’s start.

We appreciate your patience as we renovate your space to improve it for your enjoyment, and look forward to project completion a year later in early 2027.
