Gifts to Rowdy's Corner contribute to...
Rowdy's Corner provides students free access to a range of food options, hygiene products and school supplies in a shopping-like experience. With the generous support of our donors, Rowdy's Corner seeks to eliminate food insecurity for all MSU Denver students.
This fall, Rowdy’s Corner has become a lifeline for more MSU Denver students than ever before. In Fall 2025, Rowdy's Corner has served an average of 1,700 students per month, with over 7,300 monthly transactions. A 70% increase from last year’s average of 1,000 students. Some students visit once, while others rely on Rowdy’s Corner more than 30 times per month.
Nearly 60% of MSU Denver students have expressed being food insecure, and half say they have eaten less than they should because they didn't have money for food. No student should worry about where they will find their next meal.
Rowdy’s Corner doesn’t just feed students, it helps them stay in school. Students who’ve accessed Rowdy’s Corner at least once have a 75% retention rate, compared to 63% for those who haven’t. A powerful testament to how meeting basic needs supports academic success.
