Fall Pantry Staff Week
Full Circle Food Pantry is looking for extra help from staff and faculty during the week of Aug. 19.
Please consider joining the Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry to help fill orders while our student leadership and volunteers take this time to prepare for the fall semester.
Did you know the U of A operates a student-led food pantry? During the 2023-24 academic year, there were over 4,000 visits to our on-campus pantry. Your food pantry reaches students and employees with the help of more than 70 student volunteers semesterly.
Please feel free to sign up on your own or encourage others in your department to sign up together to cover a whole shift! This is a great way to give back to the Razorback community and learn more about a campus resource providing food and hygiene items to any individual associated with the U of A. Volunteers will help fill orders, greet clients and assist in organizing inventory.
First time volunteering with Full Circle? We will provide you with a detailed PowerPoint training with everything you need to know prior to your shift and do in-person training upon arrival.
