Recent research shows about half of all college students are food insecure (having limited or uncertain access to food), making the uphill battle of college study even steeper. Plus, food insecurity is most common among students facing other barriers to success. To level the playing field, some caring Bobcats founded the PAWS Pantry which provides food and basic necessities to any Frostburg student in need at zero cost. Donations of nonperishable foods and hygiene products are always welcome, but your monetary support allows the PAWS Pantry to provide students with other essential items.
The PAWS Pantry is open and available to all students, faculty and staff at FSU. The Pantry aims to decrease the impact that food insecurity has on the academic success of our students through hunger alleviation and increased education in the areas of personal budgeting, nutrition, and wellness.
Your donation to the PAWS Pantry Winter Drive will help us provide much needed resources to students so they can focus on their education and persist through to graduation.
