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 communityservice@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 communityservice@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 The Pantry
  UNA Box 5033
  Florence, AL 35632

Due to COVID-19 modifications, and to reduce contact exposure, we are asking that anyone needing to access The Pantry, please fill out this form to make necessary arrangements. When we receive your submission, we will contact you about specific items you need and arrange a pick-up/drop-off.

If you are in need of items that we do not currently have available in The Pantry (ex: perishable items), we will do our best to pick them up during our weekly grocery runs.
