Thank you to the learning community at El Segundo Middle School and to seafood company Chicken of the Sea for a generous 500-pound donation to the Warrior Pantry! El Segundo eighth graders launched a food and toiletry drive for the Warrior Pantry during the holidays, placing donation bins across El Segundo and the South Bay. The results were amazing!
Established through the leadership of the Student Equity Advisory Council, Associated Students Organization, and the Inter-Club Council, with the support from the Student Development Office and Student Equity Program, the Warrior Pantry can be used by all currently enrolled El Camino College students needing assistance. A number of ECC students face serious financial challenges, and often find it difficult to support themselves while also paying for college. Research indicates that students without proper nutrition can have trouble focusing on school work and often worry about where they will find their next meal. The Warrior Pantry offers support for students facing food insecurity, while also providing toiletries, food items and information to additional resources.
