Pitchfork Pantry, ASU’s student-run food bank, is one of our most fruitful long-term partners. Last semester, the Pantry routinely saw several hundred students at each distribution. There were some weeks where the Pantry did not have enough food to serve all the students and had to close early. Due to this great need for hunger relief among students, we are letting you know of three different ways you can help support the Pantry:
- We are continuing to collect shelf-stable, non-perishable foods, canned goods, condiments, individually packaged meals, along with hygiene products, soap, and other dry goods. Please bring donations to the collection box on the altar. Last year, there was a particular need for vegetarian options!
- The Pantry recently launched an Amazon wish list. This method of donating is particularly helpful because it identifies their most essential items and ships directly to the Pantry! Access their Amazon registry link here.
- The Pantry is able to take financial contributions again! They are partnering with the Wesley Student Foundation at ASU, hosted by First United Methodist Church. If you would like to contribute, please make checks payable to the Wesley Student Foundation at ASU, with Pitchfork Pantry on the memo line.
