Coming Soon – UAMS Food Pantry
| Next month, UAMS will be launching Stocked & Reddie, an on-campus food pantry for members of Team UAMS (employees and students) who are food insecure.
Located in the Distribution Center (800 Cottage Drive), Stocked & Reddie will open July 15 and will distribute nonperishable food items Monday and Thursday afternoon from noon to 6 p.m. The mission of Stocked & Reddie is to provide nutritious food to an estimated 800 UAMS students and employees who find it difficult to feed themselves and their families.
The Pack Shack will be holding a Feed the Funnel event at UAMS July 9 to benefit the food pantry.
Registration will be required to use the food pantry. Click here to register. Members of Team UAMS who register for the pantry will receive enough food to cover three meals for their entire household and can receive meal kits up to twice a week. Along with the food, pantry participants will receive recipes on how to prepare each meal.
UAMS will be hosting a Feed the Funnel event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 9, in the Hospital Lobby Gallery to make meal kits for the pantry. All spots are filled for the Feed the Funnel event.
