Located at 324 Stadium Dr., the pantry is open Mondays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Wednesdays 3-6 p.m. and Thursdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The only eligibility requirement is affiliation through the university — no income requirements or documents necessary to utilize the pantry.

Volunteer opportunities for the Full Circle Food Pantry open at the beginning of each semester. If you or your department are looking for a one-time volunteer event, we may be able to accommodate you. Please reach out to pantry3@uark.edu with any requests. 

Food drives are the primary source of food for the Full Circle Food Pantry. Are you involved with a group that would like to host a food drive? Please email fcdrives@uark.edu to set up a drive.
