Red Devil Pantry

Information regarding the Red Devil student pantry

Information

The Red Devil Pantry was started in April 2019. The goal of the pantry is to help students who are dealing with food insecurities. Nearly 40% of college students deal with food insecurities at some point in their college career. The pantry is here to help students by supplying food and necessities once a week. 

  • Students fill out a pantry form online. 
  • Requests can be placed an day of the week and are usually filled by 4 pm the following business day. 
  • A menu is supplied with items for students to choose from.  Requests can be made at the bottom of the form. 
  • Items will be disbursed until they run out. If this happens a substitution will be made if possible. 
  • Requested items will be disbursed if they are stocked in the pantry.

  • Dropping food or necessities by the Allen Library
