Gifts-in-Kind

When people were hungry, Jesus didn’t say, ‘Now is that political, or social?’ He said, ‘I feed you.’ Because the good news to a hungry person is bread.

— Desmond Tutu
The Living Bread Food Pantry provides supplementary grocery assistance for students, including an assortment of non-perishable food and personal care items that students have identified.  The food pantry is supported with in-kind and cash donations by congregations and friends of the seminary.  
In addition to the food pantry, grocery cards are available from Student Affairs.
