"Students helping Students"

Mission: To provide supplemental food and necessities to students and families who are in need of this type of support.

Eligibility: MSU undergraduate and graduate students who do not have an on-campus meal plan are eligible to use the food bank. To receive food, students must present their MSU student identification EVERY time they come to the food bank. At the beginning of each semester, students must present a proof of current MSU enrollment that includes your name, MSU ID number, and the number of credits for which you are enrolled (a copy of your bill stub or schedule from STUINFO). All clients are eligible to come to the Food Bank on every distribution date.

Procedures: You will be asked to check in at the front table and then have a short interview. The amount of food that you are given will be adjusted according to the amount of family members or roommates you have.

Time & Location: The MSU Food Bank is open Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 7:00 pm in the Olin Health Center Cafeteria (Olin West Entrance).

Please call (517) 432-5136 and listen to the outgoing message to verify distribution dates and times.
