Silent Auction & Food Pantry
Food Pantry
What is the Food Pantry?
This year, the Region III Student Lead On Conference will show it’s gratitude to Southern Illinois University Carbondale by showcasing a state against state competition to fill the Saluki Food Pantry! The Saluki Food Pantry provides food assistance to students in times of need, helping them stay in school and meet their educational goals. Each student that walks through the doors of the Saluki Food Pantry will receive 3 days worth of food for every head in their household. What a powerful and sustainable way to support students in the Saluki community!
