ForeverRed students and VAC staff helped distribute donations at Full Circle food pantry.

The U of A's student-run, non-profit business ForeverRed offers a variety of products for the Razorback community. This fall, the ambitious students behind the business were eager to fill the gap of food insecurity for their fellow students, faculty and staff, especially during these unprecedented times. ForeverRed's "Hungry Hog Box" contains a variety of staple food items and treats that are sorted, packed and delivered directly to the Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry on campus.

Thanks to all of the generous contributions, ForeverRed was able to donate about $1,700 worth of food. Together, they are helping resolve hunger and nutrition, which affects adequate learning and job performance, by keeping the pantry's shelves stocked.

"The donation from ForeverRed has helped so much to maintain the Full Circle Food Pantry's operations," states Full Circle intern Alexis Skinner. "Full Circle has experienced a 97 percent increase in usage since COVID began, and this donation is aiding us in continuing to serve our clients in these unpredictable times. We appreciate all the support the ForeverRed community gives us, and Full Circle is so unbelievably grateful!"
