Campus Cupboard

Students and community members of all backgrounds and beliefs come to the Cupboard to get food to sustain them through challenging times. The Cupboard typically gives away more than two tons of food every month. There are no appointments: simply drop in during operating hours.

One must register to use the Cupboard. To register, simply stop by when the Cupboard is open and ask one of our volunteers. Per the state of Minnesota, there are income limits for those who desire to use the resource.

Campus Cupboard is dedicated to providing foods for all of our neighbors. We offer Halal options for our Muslim siblings and prioritize diversity on our shelves.

We understand that coming to the Cupboard may be difficult for you to do with a busy schedule. If you need help but cannot stop in, please email our Campus Cupboard coordinator at campuscupboardmnsu@gmail.com.

Hours

Every Tuesday during the fall and spring semesters, an area congregation will make a homemade meal for any student, faculty, staff, or community member to come in and enjoy. There is a suggested donation of $1 (or more) if you have it. Vegetarian options and take out containers are available. Lunch is served from 11 AM – 1 PM.
