In an interview with Lindsey by Jillian Fortner, the administrative assistant tells us what students can expect when visiting the Knight’s Table, City College’s food pantry.

Lindsey says the pantry offers a variety of healthy snacks because it keeps students’ energy up throughout the day, including breakfast, snacks, and lunch items. 

The pantry is located in T-150 and open from Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
