Inspired by the hard work and dedication of Olivia Hood, an SIU student and member of the Leadership Development Program, Scott Moller ’85 has decided to donate $2,500 to the Saluki Food Pantry.

Moller, a member of the SIU Alumni Association and SIU Foundation boards, made the gift after meeting Hood and witnessing her fundraising work with campus RSOs. He said he hopes the gift will spur others to do the same.

The Saluki Food Pantry is located on the Lower Level of the Student Center and is open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Mondays and 1 to 4 p.m. on Thursdays. Any student with a valid student ID can access the pantry’s resources. To learn more, visit www.studentcenter.siu.edu/services/saluki-food-pantry.php.
