Special thanks to the SIU Green Fund Grant Program on providing valuable resources to the Saluki Food Pantry. With their generosity, we were able to purchase storage containers, reusable bags, and a recycling bin. The Green Fund Grant also provided a monthly food allowance to the Pantry, which helped us to restock our shelves! We were also funded a Graduate Assistantship to oversee the day-to-day operations of the Saluki Food Pantry. Thank you!
