**Important News!!!!
Our team is excited to announce that our new Owls Nest Community Resource Center will open soon, which means that we will be moving away from gift cards and will have an in-person food pantry. Please know that gift cards will ONLY be distributed until we begin with the in-person food distributions. All changes will be updated on the website as they come.
Food Pantry e-Gift Cards
- Instead of picking up groceries on campus, students registered for services will receive an electronic gift card (e-Gift Card) for $50 to be used for the purchase of groceries— on an ongoing basis, funding permitting. Details to follow upon registration.
