We are looking for an individual to be our liaison with West Chester University to help support their Resource Pantry which opened in 2016, so students don't have to choose between eating a meal and doing their laundry. That year the Pantry served 40 students over 700 lbs. of food, and last year they served over 400 students and distributed 6,000 lbs. of food. The Pantry also provides business attire for interviews, personal items, laundry detergent, coats, and school supplies. The liaison commitment would be several hours a month. Interested? Contact Laureen Smith or Ann Hatfield.
