The SHOP Pantry & Resource Center will remain open throughout the Summer months.  Operational hours will be two days per week (Mondays 3pm-6pm & Fridays 12pm-3pm). *PLEASE NOTE* - If you are unable to make it during these days/times, you may email theshop@rowan.edu in order to discuss alternative options. 

Additional health/safety precautions will continue to be in place. As always, we ask that you assess your need and utilize the pantry ONLY IF NECESSARY. We will encourage patrons to pick-up pantry items for an extended need so that we may limit the number of visits necessary. We have also instituted heightened health/safety requirements. Only one student will be allowed admission to the pantry at any one time, and students awaiting admission will be mandated to adhere to 6-ft distancing while waiting outside The SHOP. There is also a mandatory hand sanitizer station immediately upon entering The SHOP, and all surfaces including the intake station are sprayed down after each client completes their shopping. In line with State mandates, all visitors to The SHOP are now required to wear masks or face coverings. Our hope is that you will be able to bring your own since it’s a state-wide mandate in order to access essential businesses. For visitors to The SHOP, it can be as simple as a bandana or cloth covering – it does not need to be a formal mask. It can also be a DIY or home-made mask. The SHOP will have a limited supply of scarves and other clothing items that may be fashioned into a cloth covering, however our hope is for visitors to come prepared upon each visit to The SHOP. Please also know that for the foreseeable future there will be NO CHILDREN ALLOWED in The SHOP or waiting outside. We ask that you please plan accordingly. Our concerns for your health & well-being are the utmost importance at this time, and we hope that you will join us in taking these steps toward community health.

Please also feel free to contact us directly with any questions or concerns at theshop@rowan.edu. Staff will be monitoring this email address consistently. Updates will also be physically posted on the entrance door to The SHOP and virtually on The SHOP’s website.
