On April 18, 2016, the on-campus food pantry opened for the first time and continues to serve the needs of our campus community. To assess these needs, a survey was sent out before the opening of the pantry. Of the nearly 200 replies, 10% expressed food insecurity daily, while 15% expressed a need on a weekly basis and 12% on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n<p>In July 2016, the University launched a fundraising campaign to help sustain the pantry and allow it to become self-sustaining and continue to serve the needs of our campus community. Gifts to the campaign help the Red Hawk Pantry offer more hours, stock more supplies and expand its services to our campus community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Red Hawk Pantry is open to all ÌÇÐÄvlog community members: students, faculty and staff.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Available at the Red Hawk Pantry<\/h2>\n<p>The following items are available. <strong>Please Note:<\/strong> Items are subject to change and availability:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Food items<\/li>\n<li>Health\/personal care products<\/li>\n<li>School Supplies<\/li>\n<li>Tableware\/Utensils<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Spring 2026 Hours of Operation<\/h2>\n<p><em>Starting Wednesday, January 21!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Pantry is located on the Montclair campus, Blanton Hall, Room 1200.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"66\" data-end=\"144\"><strong>Mondays:<\/strong> 1:30\u20133:30 p.m.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"66\" data-end=\"144\"><strong>Wednesdays:<\/strong> 5\u20137 p.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Saturdays:<\/strong> 11 a.m. \u2013 1 p.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All Red Hawk Pantry Visitors <strong>MUST<\/strong> register through our new software: <a href=\"https:\/\/app.pantrysoft.com\/login\/montclair\">PantrySoft Registration<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you are unable to visit during our scheduled hours, please email us at <a href=\"mailto:redhawkpantry@montclair.edu\">redhawkpantry@montclair.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How Do I Donate To the Pantry?<\/h2>\n<p><a name=\"donate\"><\/a>If you\u2019d like to support the on-campus food pantry, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/crowdfund.montclair.edu\/project\/10549\">make your gift online<\/a><a name=\"donate\"><\/a>.
