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.
