In 2016, the Appalachian Studies Center and a committee of UNG volunteers opened a food and supply pantry at the Historic Vickery House for students, staff and faculty. The UNG Food Pantry is not a university-funded service. We finance our services through financial and food donations as well as fundraising events.
