April 28, the College of Applied and Natural Sciences reopened Louisiana Tech University’s Good Nutrition Mission Food Pantry located in Carson Taylor Hall.
According to the Association of American Colleges and Universities, food insecurity is a growing challenge on college campuses across America. To tackle this ongoing issue, the School of Human Ecology created the Good Nutrition Mission Food Pantry for students to have access to necessary items such as dairy products, canned food items, and personal care items.
Students and faculty attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony that was held to commemorate the new additions to the space that included shelving provided by Louisiana Tech’s Student Government Association and a refrigerator provided by Dairy MAX.
