    Hello folks! 

    The University of Houston Cougar Cupboard is considering utilizing PantrySoft and/or potentially installing food lockers for student pickups

    Can I get input on what has helped or what strengths and areas of concerns for folks that are already using these kind of services on your campus? We would appreciate any feedback that y'all can provide.

    Sincerely,

    Kevin Nguyen
    Associate Director | Center for Student Advocacy and Community at the University of Houston

    Hi and good morning Kevin. I'll reach out to you about a great solution we have that might help in conjunction with PantrySoft and would recommend connecting with Phil Smith from Rutgers if you haven't already. Phil is working with us and uses PantrySoft and I'd bet he has some excellent insights. Will email you some info, and if anyone else is looking for basic needs focused lockers, we're certainly up for conversation at RecRe.  Thanks!

    Hi Kevin, 

    I'd love to set up a zoom call soon to chat - as Jason said, we're working with both of those, the lockers and pantrysoft, so would be glad to talk to you about how we have it set up. The lockers will be in use soon, but we've been utilizing pantrysoft for the past year and have just gone through what needed to be changed or updated in our system for the next year. 

    Feel free to email me.

    Hi all - I'm happy to participate in the conversation if you all have interest. Would love to hear what each of you are doing and learn a bit more... plus I can share info about the boxes and system we provide for context.  Let me know if I can help with scheduling or any additional info.  Thanks!

    Hi all,
    I'd also love to join a call about pantrysoft and lockers.  We are just about to start using Pantrysoft and will get lockers in the next month or so. 

    Thanks!
