The MSU Student Food Bank is a resource available to students and scholars who may be experiencing food insecurity. The Food Bank provides free food and other essential items to those in need within our MSU community.

How to Know If a Student or Scholar Is Food Insecure

Students and scholars often wonder if they qualify for assistance from the Food Bank. Here are some questions to consider:

• Have you worried that your food would run out before you had money to buy more?
• Have you cut the size of your meals or skipped meals because there wasn’t enough money for food?
• Have you been unable to afford a balanced meal?
• Have you had to choose between buying food and paying for other essentials like rent or medicine?

If the answer was "yes" to any of these questions, you may be experiencing food insecurity and should consider utilizing the Food Bank’s services.

How to Sign Up for an Order

Students and scholars can sign up to receive food from the MSU Student Food Bank by visiting here. The website provides step-by-step instructions on how to register for an order, including details on what information is needed to provide and how to select a pickup time. Students and scholars are able to visit once per week.

Please note that orders must be placed by 4 p.m. for pick up the following day. We are currently open 12:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. T, W, Th. We will be expanding hours later this semester.
