Corrections

In the October 22 issue, an article about food insecurity misrepresented some requirments for use of the WCC Food Pantry. Requirements should have included: 1. Students must be currently registered. 2. First time visitors must complete a food pantry form. 3. On subsequent visits, students must have met with an SRC case manager by appointment and complete a food pantry form to get two bags of food. 4. A maximum of two visits per semester is allowed.
