Luna Community College held a grand opening for its Rough Rider “Tiendita” Food Pantry


Luna Community College held a grand opening for its Rough Rider “Tiendita” Food Pantry on Wednesday, Oct. 19. Many Luna students have enjoyed the Rough Rider “Tiendita” Food Pantry since July of this year. The “Tiendita” was created through a partnership between Luna and the Luna Foundation. Through this partnership, several donations have been received. Among them are Neighbors Helping Neighbors, the Las Vegas Community Foundation, Guadalupe Credit Union, State Employees Credit Union and private anonymous donations. Luna students can get a bag of non-perishable food items and toiletries free of charge. Luna President Dr. Edward Martinez gave an opening speech at the event, which was attended by Luna students, employees and community members. Luna apologizes in advance if anyone who has donated to the Luna Food Pantry was inadvertently left out.
