SEC Food Fight: Donate to Full Circle Food Pantry

The Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry is excited to announce its participation in the annual SEC Food Fight competition, hosted by the University of Missouri this year! SEC Food Fight is a friendly competition among schools in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) to help fight food insecurity across campuses. Every food item and dollar donated earns points for the U of A, so every contribution makes a difference. 

The competition will run through March 31, giving Razorbacks a full month to support the pantry. Full Circle serves hundreds of clients each month, so we need your help to restock our shelves. 

Campus organizations, departments and student groups are encouraged to get involved by hosting a food drive. To participate, groups can complete a short registration form, decide how long their drive will run and select a designated drop-off location.  

Donations may be brought to the pantry during scheduled time slots or dropped off at campus collection sites, including Harmon Parking Garage, the Arkansas Union Information Desk, Mullins Library and other campus locations with black "SEC Food Fight" bins.
