Hi ETSU Community,
Greetings and salutations!!
Welcome to the spring semester!!
Bucky's Food Pantry cordially welcomes back to campus all students and staff for the spring semester 2025 and wishes our students much success in your academic pursuits. Renovation continues on Brown Hall and Burleson Hall and the new general education and humanities. The walkway is almost been finished but can be accessed from the Culp to the football stadium.

Bucky's Food Pantry has three locations from which the ETSU Community can pick up
their food boxes. The first location is in the Buc Ridge Housing area situated next
to the Central Receiving warehouse at 325 Treasure Lane. The second location is at
the D.P. Culp Student Center, on Seehorn Drive near the Passport Office. The third
is the ETSU Campus at Kingsport.
The pantry will be tweaking the dates/hours of the spring semester over the next couple of weeks so please check back to the site often. The staff would like to welcome all of our volunteers, interns, and student workers who will make the coming semester a success.
