Barney’s Pantry to offer new services

A rescue service for students in need, Barney’s Pantry is a collection of donations that includes countless food and hygiene products available to any student.

Items include macaroni and cheese, soups, beverages, feminine hygiene products and many other items.

Each student is allowed to choose up to three items per day and the pantry is stocked every two weeks. Donations can be made at any time and are collected at the Associated Student Government office in the College Center. To encourage students to donate, the bookstore holds “Spirit Fridays” where students and MHCC employees can get a discount for donating a can of food and when they wear the school colors.

This year, the faculty boosted donations by sponsoring a competition held between departments. The department that donates the most will be recognized at the end of each month. ASG officials hope this will set a good example and will prompt more students to participate. During Thanksgiving week, ASG will be giving away gift baskets.

In order to receive one, there will be sign-ups in the ASG office. For Christmas, ASG is in the process of making another drive for the holiday season.A rescue service for students in need, Barney’s Pantry is a collection of donations that includes countless food and hygiene products available to any student.
