Become A Campus Monthly Sponsor
UNT is addressing food insecurity among its students and is doing so with a vision of partnership and community building. We are planning our upcoming 2022-2023 academic year and we want to partner with you to keep the UNT Food Pantry presented by Kroger stocked throughout the year. Our Campus Monthly Sponsor program is looking for teams committed to supporting our students experiencing food insecurity and hunger. By being a sponsor, we ask your area to donate food and pantry items for that month. We currently need monthly partners for August and the upcoming 2022-23 academic year. We’d love to have your department join us in our community wellness efforts! If your department, group, or organization is interested in becoming a sponsor, please email us at DOSFoodPantry@unt.edu.

Description: Injuries can happen at any time. In fact, you never know when you might find yourself in a situation where someone, a stranger perhaps, needs immediate medical help for a life-threatening injury. You are the most important help available to someone with a serious, life-threatening injury. When someone experiences a life-threatening emergency, the first care they can get can be the difference between life and death. This training session will teach you how to assist a person who has experienced a life-threatening injury until first responders arrive to the scene.
