STARKVILLE, Miss. (WTVA) - The cost of college education hits many students in their wallets and for some, clothing and food can get pushed aside. To help, two organizations at Mississippi State University came together to open Bully's Closet and Pantry.

Student Affairs and the Student Association partnered to open Bully's Closet and Pantry on Friday.

Vice President of Student Affairs Regina Hyatt said this is a resource for students to eat nutritious foods and get professional clothing for special occasions.

Bully's Closet and Pantry is located at 120 Morgan Road. The hours of operation are Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from 1-6 p.m.

Tropical Depression Claudette has now moved into Alabama and Georgia, leaving with some cloud cover but dry conditions. Most of us will stay dry through this Father's Day but some spotty showers will likely through the late afternoon.
