Cupboards running low? Time to visit campus food pantries
The well-stocked food pantry, located in LoGrasso Hall, the student health center.
Students finding their own kitchens running low on food with limited cash to help restock can visit either of the two campus food pantries located in the Williams Center and LoGrasso Hall.
“The food pantries stock a wide variety of items, so there’s something for everybody who finds themselves about to confront food insecurity.” - Deborah Dibble, director of the Student Health Center
What they’ll typically find in the LoGrasso Hall pantry, which has been relocated to the outer vestibule, are meal items, such as macaroni and cheese, spaghetti sauce, canned soup, vegetables and fruit, noodle dishes and rice, peanut butter and jelly, cereal and trail mix. There’s also a retro-style Frigidaire refrigerator stocked with cheese, orange juice, yogurt, frozen pizza and other perishables.
These items are purchased with monetary donations from faculty, staff and alumni.
The LoGrasso pantry is open Fridays, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Assorted bakery items – bread, muffins and rolls, pies and cakes – are stocked every Tuesday, beginning at 11 a.m., in the Williams Center information booth, adjacent to Tim Hortons. The Clarence Community Food Bank furnishes these items.
“The food pantries stock a wide variety of items, so there’s something for everybody who finds themselves about to confront food insecurity,” said Deborah Dibble, director of the Student Health Center.
Food pantries are restocked each week and are open to all Fredonia students.
