The Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry will be adjusting its open hours during the summer months. The pantry serves university affiliated students, staff, faculty, temporary employees, hourly employees and retirees up to two times per week. You may place an order through the pantry in several different ways: locker orders, express orders, advanced pick-up orders and onsite orders. All orders utilize our online ordering platform: https://app.pantrysoft.com/login/uark.
