Stony Brook’s Division of Finance & Administration (F&A) recently broke the largest single-week record for food donated to the university’s on-campus Food Pantry. Previously set at 269 pounds, the division participated in the “Adopt a Week” program during Valentine’s Day week and was able to collect an astonishing 700 pounds.
“There are members of our Stony Brook community experiencing real food insecurity,” stated Jed Shivers, senior vice president for Finance & Administration. “This isn’t surprising given that just over 1 in 10 New York households experience food insecurity, so we were delighted to partner with the Food Pantry to benefit students, faculty and staff here on campus.”
The Stony Brook University Food Pantry is located in the Stony Brook Union and serves community members (students, staff and faculty) who are food insecure or who are at risk of food insecurity. The Food Pantry is committed to being a reliable and stable supplemental food source while providing resources to overcome food insecurity.
Special thanks to the following F&A teammates who helped make the drive a success: Karla Morrison, Lauren Candela, Christine O’Neill, Carolyn Osiecki, Joseph Caponegro, Jennifer Coggin, Jhovanna Erazo, Kassidy Berke, Diane Brady, Kristine Kondrick, Heather McLaughlin, Jeanmarie Ricciardi and Veronica Brown, and to the divisional leaders who lent their support: Lyle Gomes, Heather Montague, Simeon Ananou, Bill Herrmann, Larry Zacarese and Jen Donnelly.
