MSU Student Food Bank
Through times of anxiety and need, the MSU Student Food Bank is here to serve our campus community. We served 16,903 students and their families last year, and we saw a 42% increase of students seeking food assistance in 2024. 2025 is starting out with even higher needs indicated. We saw a 223% increase in food orders in January over 2024.
Support from Spartan alumni, faculty, staff, parents and friends is critical to our success serving all those in need. Financial donations are the easiest and most effective way you can make a difference in fighting food insecurity on campus.
Your Support Makes a Difference
The MSU Student Food Bank is the first food bank for students by students. We have been serving the MSU community for over 30 years and our relationship with the Greater Lansing Food Bank enables us to purchase food at a lower cost, allowing your donations to go much further. With little overhead cost, the food bank is able to make the most of every dollar.
All gifts make a BIG impact!
- A gift of $50 helps us purchase about 150 meals.
- A gift of $100 helps us purchase about 300 meals.
- A gift of $500 helps us purchase about 1500 meals.
Any student enrolled at MSU is eligible to use the services of the food bank. We distribute food weekly to those in need. All donations are greatly appreciated so we can continue to serve students and community members in need.
Gifts help ensure that we always have vegetables, fruits, soups, pasta or rice, various proteins, cereal and other household items available for student’s selection once an appointment has been made. Additionally, the food bank almost always has fresh produce, bread, and cheese available to pick up. Thank you for supporting our Spartan community.
Double Your Impact!
Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, each gift will be matched dollar for dollar until the $2,500 match has been exhausted.
