Staff Weeks at Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry

The Center for Community Engagement's Volunteer Action Center operates an on-campus food pantry that serves on average 400 visits per month! The Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry is a student-led and student-run pantry serving our Razorback community.

Your food pantry reaches university staff, students, and faculty with the help of 80 volunteers each week. Please consider joining Full Circle Food Pantry to help fill orders while our student leadership and volunteers focus on finals and then prepare to return to classes in the spring.  

Volunteers Needed During Break

Full Circle Food Pantry is looking for extra help from staff and faculty over several weeks: Dec. 8, Jan. 12, and Jan. 19.

Please 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 individuals associated with the University of Arkansas.

Volunteers will help fulfill orders, greet clients, stock inventory, and more. First time volunteering with Full Circle? We will provide you with a detailed PowerPoint with everything you need to know prior to your shift and do in-person training upon arrival.
