Food Pantry Request Form is Online; Anonymous Donation Made

A form is now available online for students to more easily request assistance from the food pantry at East Central College.

The pantry offers food and supplies to students in need. It is sponsored by Campus Life and Leadership.

On Thursday, an anonymous donor gifted $1,000 to purchase food and other items for the pantry. 

The new form allows students to set an appointment to visit the ECC campus food pantries in Union and Rolla.

Appointments will limit face-to-face interactions which is an effort to impede the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus). Previously, requests for assistance were conducted in person.

The service is only available to ECC students who must present a student ID when picking up items. There is a limit of 10 items per student, per visit.

To find the request form, students can visit www.eastcentral.edu/current/ and click the “Food Pantry” tab under Support Services. The form can also be found here.

Students will be asked their email address and name which will only be used for the form. No records of the pantry visit are maintained.  Students also will be asked to select a date, time, and which campus pantry they would like to visit.
