It Takes a Village: About the Food Pantry

We support learning, wellness, and student retention by providing free nutritious food options and self-care/hygiene items for St. Cloud State University students. While the Huskies Food Pantry is not able to serve as a grocery store or supply enough to meet all weekly student needs, we can support students so they may fully contribute to the campus and community with a variety of fresh, frozen, and non-perishable food items, along with frozen prepared meals (meat and vegetarian). 

Our major partner is a 501c3 non-profit humanitarian organization, Hope for the Community and are primarily stocked by purchases from our regional food bank partner Second Harvest Heartland. Pantry operations are housed in the Division of Student Affairs' Department of Campus Involvement and supported by student workers and volunteers from our campus community.
