With donations the pantry provides ready meals breakfast items snacks and much more all free of charge.
“We get donations from Publix with meat and bakery items every week”. Says Troy University Program Advisor, Tori Elmore.
“We also get donations every three weeks from the Montgomery area food bank”.
Students get the chance to shop the pantry regardless of income level, family contribution or financial aid status. Those students gain peace of mind and the confidence of where their next meal is coming from in the mist of earning a degree.
Students can sign up to shop through pantry soft. Fall open pantry days are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 5 and Wednesdays from 2 to 5.
