A silent auction was also held during the event.

The Warrior Yard Sale was comprised of items donated by students as they moved out of residence halls at the end of the academic year. Items included clothing, bedding, cleaning supplies, and electronics.

The ESU Warrior Food Panty is a collaborative initiative with St. Matthew’s Church located just off campus at 78 Ridgeway Street. The pantry ensures that students are able to obtain necessary food for their well-being. To learn more about the Warrior Food Panty visit esu.edu/food_pantry or watch a video.
