Flash's Food Pantry receives fresh produce from Flash's Food Garden at Kent State Stark.
Flash’s Food Pantry relies on the generosity of its supporters to help fight hunger on campus. Monetary donations and non-perishable food can be donated at the pantry. Flash’s Food Pantry works with Interfaith Campus Ministry and the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank to directly purchase food at a discounted rate. This helps to maximize dollars raised for the pantry.
Flash's Food Pantry needs individuals (faculty, staff and/or students) to sponsor at least one staple product offered in the Pantry (see list below). As they shop, these individuals or "Pillars" of the Pantry should pick up their sponsored item(s) and donate it/them to the Pantry. This will greatly offset ongoing costs for popular items we cannot keep on the shelves.
