Support PAWS Pantry

Filling the need

There has been a growing trend of food insecurity and homelessness amongst college students across the nation. These issues can directly impact a student’s education and personal growth.

How can I support the pantry?

Food and supply donations The pantry accepts non-perishable foods and hygiene products year-round. Items can be dropped off at the Pantry during normal hours of operation (see website) or by emailing PAWSPantry@dos5.net to set up a drop-off time.

Monetary Donations allow us to purchase needed items, and supply students with perishable items like bread, milk, and eggs from local stores. Any checks should be made payable to “FSU Foundation - #70241” and can be dropped off at the above locations or visit the Foundation Website to donate online.
