UMMC Launches Student Food Pantry | Hattiesburg News

UMMC is launching its first-ever student food pantry this September, offering free nonperishable food and essentials to help students focus on their studies without worrying about basic needs. Dr. Jonathan Nutt explains that even high-achieving med and nursing students face financial struggles—and this initiative aims to bridge that gap. The campus-wide food drive is now underway, accepting donations like canned goods, cereal, and toiletries, with options for off-campus contributions via Amazon or drop-offs at key locations. It’s a powerful step toward student well-being and academic success. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
