The pantry is located in the Kathleen W. Rollins Hall Building 2nd Floor at the CLCE office from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and also by request. If would like to set-up an individual appointment to visit the pantry or are interested in donating non-perishable food or unused toiletry items to the pantry, please contact Sophie Foster (safoster@rollins.edu)  for more information.
