In 2022, the Wildcat Pantry was established at Bay Path University under the leadership of Tanya Coles-Dailey, Assistant Director of the Counseling Center. This initiative was created in response to the food insecurity faced by students within the university community. The pantry is a vital resource housed in the lower level of the Blake Student Commons on the Longmeadow Campus to ensure easy access for those in need. The Wildcat Pantry not only provides a variety of nutritious food options, but it also offers personal care items, clothing, and household products. 

This comprehensive support aims to alleviate the burdens associated with food insecurity and promote overall wellness within the community. By offering these essential resources, the pantry plays a crucial role in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment at Bay Path, ensuring all community members have access to the basic necessities for a healthy and successful life.
