New Full Circle Food Pantry Food Offerings

In partnership with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Community Health and Research department, the Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry will be offering new items geared toward Latin American and Marshallese diets through November of 2023. These items include but are not limited to lentils, dried black beans, white onions, garlic, tomatoes, different types of potatoes, chili peppers, jalapenos and cilantro, along with fish and beef.  

The Full Circle Food Pantry is an on-campus resource for all students, faculty and staff to use. Located at 324 Stadium Dr., the pantry is open Mondays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Wednesdays 3-6 p.m. during the summer, with express deliveries available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The only eligibility requirement is affiliation through the university — no income requirements or documents necessary to utilize the pantry.  

Volunteer opportunities for the Full Circle Food Pantry open at the beginning of each semester. If you or your department are looking for a one-time volunteer event, we may be able to accommodate you. Please reach out to us at the email provided. 

If there are any questions about the new program or volunteering opportunities, please email pantry@uark.edu
