The service opened the doors to its new location on Feb. 25. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWith this new location in building 3 we have both expanded our food selection and the number of students we are serving has drastically increased,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/mdc-professor-sarah-garman-receives-the-instructional-technology-council-award\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Sarah Garman<\/span><\/a>, a humanities professor and United Faculty of Miami Dade College union vice president for North Campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The facility with brightly painted and stocked shelves has the capacity to serve double the amount of people. Census figures show 20 percent of the Miami-Dade County population lives below the poverty line. This year North Campus staff and students donated more than 5,000 canned food items to the pantry. On-going food drives continue throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benjamin Paul, AmeriCorps VISTA\/volunteer coordinator, said the food pantry has an inventory of more than 3,500 items including a supply of corn, beans, tuna, Vienna sausages, noodles, rice, soup, water and Chef Boyardee spaghetti. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are working with Feeding South Florida to get fresh foods and baked goods to the pantry,\u201d Garman said. \u201cGetting baby food, formula, diapers and more hygiene products is also something the pantry is working on.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garman said the food pantry started two years ago in an office within the Student Life Department. The goods used to be distributed in the building 4 breezeway but with few students taking food. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the past it was a small amount of students and not many people knew about it,\u201d Paul said. \u201cWith this new location we now have a computer where we can pull up student\u2019s information quickly to find out if they are eligible for the benefits, and more people know about us.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To qualify for Food Pantry access, students can go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdc.edu\/singlestop\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Single Stop<\/span><\/a> department and fill out an application that acts as their screening for benefits. This intake form can also help students qualify for food stamps, medical care, financial coaching and more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe want to both be there for the students in emergency situations, and get them coaching on how to take care of themselves,\u201d said Paul, who \u00a0oversees all student volunteers and gives out assignments. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Student volunteers decorated the new food pantry, organized the stock, distributed and transported the food, and spread the news about the food pantry by word of mouth as well as flyers. Students can sign up for 10-15 hours of service learning with the food pantry through the Single Stop department. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On March 4, students, faculty and staff all joined in a food packing event at North Campus, \u201cMeals of Hope Experience.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garman organized the event. She led a group of 350 students and staff who filled the cafeteria wearing the bright green T-shirts distributed at the event. While chanting and laughing the volunteers worked in groups to pack meals of mac and cheese as well as soy chicken and rice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miami Culinary Institute was in attendance to demonstrate how to prepare the food. North Campus students, faculty and staff worked together to provide the meals which were 20 cents each. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI can\u2019t believe how many students we have volunteering, it is so exciting,\u201d Garman said at the Meals of Hope Experience event. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The efforts resulted in 50,000 packed meals to be distributed at the pantry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information or to set up a Food Pantry screening at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the North Campus, call 305-237-1444 or visit Room 1119B.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The food pantry at North Campus has relocated to Room 3115 where they now have more flexibility to serve students.
