MTSU Food Pantry

Due to an increasing number of hungry students on campus, the University College Advising Center and the Student Government Association started a student food pantry in Fall 2012 for MTSU students who are unsure where their next meal is going to come from.

Interested in Donating to the Pantry?

We all know students that are going hungry. Please help us stock the food pantry with some of the items listed below to help feed MTSU students! All donations can be brought to the UCAC in the McFarland Building any time between 7:30am and 5:30pm, Monday through Friday. We encourage student groups, offices, residence halls, etc. to get together and collect items to donate. You can also donate online using the link on the LEFT navigation panel. Please be mindful of expiration dates as we cannot hand out expired food.
 
 
Know a Student Who is Hungry?
If you know an MTSU student who is hungry, please send them to the UCAC . Becca is the Food Pantry coordinator and will gladly assess the students need and help them find items from the pantry. We also have community partners available for larger needs.
 

What Items are Needed?
With the pantry being fairly new, we are in need of all the items listed below.  As our shelves fill or we are in need of one item over another, we will update this site to help you know what to donate.  Please keep in mind that donations should include non-perishable items that can be easily prepared or eaten as packaged.

We will keep this site updated to reflect needs. As we run low on a particular item, we will highlight them, but will gladly accept donations outside of the current "high need". We will also include which items we are currently have well stocked.
