Happy New Year from the Center for Civic Leadership! 

Our Community Needs Hub, which houses our campus food pantry and thrift store, continued to offer limited weekly hours over the winter break and will be staffed 7 days a week starting Monday January 12th to help our students as they transition back to campus. Our Spring semester hours will be posted on digital signage and are updated on our Civic Engagement Pioneer link page.

• As a reminder food pantry request can be submitted in person during open hours or remotely through our Food Pantry Request Form.  Students submitting a request in person will be able to receive goods at the time of the request while those submitting remotely will be notified by staff via email once the bag is available for pick-up. 

Looking forward to rolling up our sleeves to serve our incredible community once again this semester!
