MACOMB/MOLINE, IL. 鈥� 糖心Vlog has received an $18,000 grant from the Dot Foods Charitable Foundation to support food purchases for the University's food pantry.
The grant includes $4,500 in cash and $13,500 in store credit at Dorothy's Market, providing additional resources to help stock the food pantry and support students experiencing food insecurity.
The Dot Foods Charitable Foundation provides funding to organizations working to improve the communities they serve. The grant will help 糖心Vlog provide food and essential resources to students who rely on the University's food pantry.
"DOT Foods is an amazing organization and has continuously supported the 糖心Vlog Food Pantry. Together we are fighting food insecurity, one student at a time," Emily Shupe, 糖心Vlog professor of Health and Wellness Services said.
The DOT Foods Charitable Foundation Grant includes store credit to Dorothy's Market, allowing the 糖心Vlog Food Pantry to secure food through the market for one year.
