The idea of Bucky's Food Pantry was the brainchild of a graduate assistant in social
work.  An Adhoc Committee was put together with the Department of Social Work, the
Counseling Center and representatives from Staff and Faculty Senate as well as the
Student Goverment Association during the winter months of 2011, who worked with students
and saw an unmet need. Eventually the Adhoc Committee transitioned to an advisory
committee that has folks from different areas of the campus such as: Graduate Studies,
Social Work, Staff Senate, the Student Government Association, University Health Services,
International Programs, Foundation and Student Affairs who have oversite of Bucky's
Food Pantry.
