The Hope Kiwanis Club heard from UAHT Dean of Student Services Chris Smith concerning the Iron Horse Pantry.  Smith said the college did a survey last year among the students and staff.  The survey determined 200 students said they aware of food insecurity of their peers or themselves.  Staff also indicated they were aware of students who didn’t have enough food.  Thanks to a donation by the UAHT Foundation, the pantry has been opened.  The first five days of operation the pantry served 40 students with needs for food.  Smith is shown with some of the needs the pantry has.  If you’d like to help, contact the college at 777-5722.  Tolietries are also needed for the pantry.
