Knights Helping Knights, a volunteer-based organization set up through Rick Falco\u2019s first year LEAD Scholars class, focuses on giving back through a food pantry and a yard sale at Memory Mall.\u00a0 Located on the third floor of the student union, the food pantry is run by shifts of volunteers and includes varieties of canned foods, bottled beverages, toiletries and supplies provided free of charge for students. The pantry will expand to include used electronics, clothing and any other donated goods for students. It is open Tuesday and Thursday from 11a.m.-2 p.m., but can be opened at anytime for students seeking assistance by calling 407.823.2256 or e-mailing <a href=\"mailto:smaton@mail.ucf.edu\">smaton@mail.ucf.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pantry is built on trust,\u201d said Nate Torrech, sophomore and member of Knights Helping Knights.\u00a0 \u201cWe don\u2019t require identification because we want students to feel comfortable enough to utilize this resource.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working on marketing and a T-shirt design to get the campus familiar with the organization,\u201d said Sarah Maton, who initiated the Knights Helping Knights.<\/p>\n<p>A campuswide yard sale will take place in Spring 2010. \u201cWe hope to eventually expand the yard sale to cover the majority of memory mall,\u201d said Torrech.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers are needed to assist with the food pantry and yard sale on a regular basis.
