SCHOLARS IN SERVICE – JOB DESCRIPTION Bulldog Pantry The Bulldog Pantry is operated and maintained almost exclusively by Fresno State
student volunteers. In November 2007, the pantry opened its doors in response to
emergency food needs in the campus area. Almost every Saturday from 9-10:30 a.m.
the pantry provides groceries to families and students in need who live in the Fresno
community. The pantry relies 100% on the help of Fresno State volunteers and donors
to keep our doors open. Food is purchased each week from the Fresno Community
Food Bank and is picked up on Friday afternoons. At 2 p.m. on Fridays, the pantry
volunteers pack approximately150 bags of food in preparation for distribution on
Saturday morning.
