As the semester winds down, there is an important resource that students may find valuable.
The Dutchmen Pantry consists of several food access points, as well as a pantry for toiletries and laundry detergent. The pantry is a great resource for students needing assistance to access at no charge.
The main pantry is located on the lower level of the Frederic K. Miller Chapel, which has food and meal starters for students, as well as microwaveable meals from Metz. It also has shelves of personal items, such as toiletries and personal hygiene items. Students can access this pantry through Jen Liedtka, LVC’s coordinator of service and volunteerism or the Center for Student Engagement. The pantry is open during normal business hours. After these hours, students can contact public safety to assist them with access.
There is also a basket at the main level of the chapel that has food as well. Students do not need to contact anyone to access these items and may do so anytime the chapel is open (7 a.m. – 11 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday, and from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday).
In addition, there are resources for commuters in the commuter lounge in the lower level of Mund. There are complimentary fresh meals donated by Metz, which are microwavable.
Liedtka said another pantry location may be added in the spring.
