The Kent State University Women's Center is located on
the Kent Campus in the Alumni Carriage House on Midway
Drive.

The Kent State University Women’s Center is seeking a department or office to adopt its pantry for the 2015 Fall Semester. The pantry is in need of nonperishable food items, as well as basic toiletries and cleaning items. Please consider supporting the Women’s Center as it seeks to reduce food disparities on campus and in the community.

The Women’s Center Pantry opened during the 2010-11 academic year in response to needs on campus. Although it continues to provide pantry resources to anyone in need within the community, it has expanded its reach to include working with other departments like the Child Development Center and the Student Recreation and Wellness Center to collect diapers and child care products.

The pantry has been adopted by a number of offices and departments that have provided food, cleaning supplies, paper products and personal care items.

“The small, but mighty pantry provides for faculty, staff and students with around 50 visits a semester,” says Cassandra Pegg-Kirby, assistant director of Kent State’s Women’s Center. “Everyone is welcome at the pantry. We are grateful to be able to provide this service to such a wonderful community, but we couldn’t do it without all the generous donations. For all that we give away, we get that much (and more) in return. Thank you for your continued support!”

To support or adopt the Women’s Center Pantry, contact Pegg-Kirby at cpeggkir@kent.edu.
