Daughters of the Elks Temple donate to LLCC Food Pantry

Yesterday, the LLCC Student Life Food Pantry was the recipient of a very generous donation from members of the local community. Our thanks to the Daughters of the Elks Temple, Sarah Price Temple #1267, who donated various food items and personal hygiene products. Kim Wilson, LLCC recruitment specialist, knew the pantry was running low, and she and her fellow Elks members answered the call, making sure the pantry was stocked for our students.

LLCC students may visit the food pantry once a week. The pantry has various food items, personal hygiene products, clothing and even some school supplies. Student s can reach out to Student Life staff by Messenger or by emailing StudentLife@llcc.edu. Student Life is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
