Kelly Heckert wheels the frozen chicken wings, fresh sweet potato, boxed pasta, bottled juice and other foods in a red wagon in Butler County Community College's Pioneer Pantry. That food will provide supplemental nutrition for the adult literacy student and her 5-year-old granddaughter. 'Not only are they educating us,' the 51-year-old Butler resident said about students attending the community college, 'But they are making sure we are getting the right nutrients.' Patronage in three years has increased 89% in the Pioneer Pantry, created by BC3 following a student survey.
