WHO WE ARE

The Spartan Open Pantry is a food pantry for UNC Greensboro students, staff, and recent alumni struggling to afford to eat.  Open Monday to Thursday each week, the pantry provides free, high-quality foods for needy Spartans. 

Wesley-Luther, a Methodist and Lutheran Non-profit at UNC Greensboro, is proud to have founded the Spartan Open Pantry and now oversees its operations. From students who need a little help at the end of the month to homeless students and families who depend on the pantry for complete support, the SOP assists our neighbors who need a hand.

"My parents stopped supporting me when I told them I had a girlfriend. I work a part-time job, but I can't afford rent and food by myself. Without the pantry, I would only have a few meals a week."
UNCG Student
"Before I used the pantry, I had to choose between books and food. I don't think I could have stayed in school without help. Things are better for me now, and I try to volunteer as much as I can. It meant a lot to me that people cared when I didn't have enough, so now I am trying to pay that back."
UNCG Student
"I work, but my parents have not had a job for a while. I have to help support my brother and sister. It is hard to get by. I was sometimes not eating so that they could have a meal. I am happy the pantry is here."

"I moved out because my boyfriend was abusive. I stayed with friends, but I couldn't afford much else. I had to leave most of my clothes and things behind. The pantry helped me get new clothes and food. The dinners are great, and I can tell that the volunteers care."
