FAIRFAX, Va. – This past weekend, George Mason softball claimed an impressive series win against the Saint Louis Billikens. Beyond the Patriots' performance on the field, Saturday's doubleheader also featured a meaningful collaboration with the Patriot Pantry.
 
On Saturday, April 11, the Patriot Pantry was on-site collecting donations. The organization supports George Mason University students facing food insecurity by providing access to non-perishable food and hygiene items, while also raising awareness about the prevalence of food insecurity on campus, the challenges students face in meeting basic needs, and the resources available to support their overall well-being. Operated through the Student Support and Advocacy Center (SSAC) within the Division of University Life, the pantry relies heavily on community contributions to keep its shelves stocked.

Throwing out the ceremonial first pitch for game one against the Billikens was John Eichler, Coordinator for Basic Needs Services for SSAC. In a show of sportsmanship and community support, the Saint Louis softball team also contributed donations while visiting for the crucial conference matchup.
 
George Mason softball thanks everyone in attendance who helped contribute to this meaningful cause and looks forward to continuing to make a positive impact within the George Mason community.
