Guest Speakers - Sherry Paquette & Tracy Ouellette from Asnuntuck's The Pantry 
 
The pantry started with a women's leadership institute social action project by Tracy Ouellette.
It took over two years to get the pantry started and it opened in February 2017. It is available to all students, regardless of their income and background. 24 students volunteer their time to help in the food pantry. They receive a lot of support from the Enfield's food shelf.
