The Southeastern Lion Pantry is operated by the Office for Student Engagement with the help of student workers and volunteers. The mission of the Lion Pantry is to provide perishable and non-perishable items to any active Southeastern student who are in need of services. We are located in McGehee Hall, Room 109.
