“Working at the UM Food Pantry has been one of the most rewarding work experiences I have ever had. The ASUM Bear Necessities team is so incredibly supportive and kind to one another, and assisting them in supporting my community brought me so much joy every day. The experiences I had working as the UM Food Pantry Student Coordinator were so helpful to me in working towards a career in nonprofit work, and I will be able to utilize the skillset I built at the pantry for the rest of my life.”
