Given the circumstances of COVID-19, one of the quickest ways that we can provide food and hygiene items to our students is by providing them with gift cards to local grocery stores. This gives them the opportunity to purchase the items they need as they need it. If you would like to support our students this way, the information below provides details on how to get the gift card to us so that we can distribute them to our students. 

In-store purchase:
If you are purchasing a physical gift card from a store, please contact Bethany Green at bloliver@una.edu about arranging a pick-up. 

Online purchase:

• Target and Walmart - Target and Walmart allow an online purchase and e-mail delivery method. Upon puchase, please send the gift card to Bethany Green at bloliver@una.edu. 
• Publix - Publix allows an online purchase. To have the cards delivered to the pantry, please enter the following mailing address:
  University of North Alabama
  c/o Feeding the Pride
  UNA Box 5033
