Roadrunner Food Pantry 2020

Roadrunner Food Pantry
On MSU Denver Day of Giving, you can fill a plate and feed a student when you make a gift to the Roadrunner Food Pantry.

Food insecurity has become increasingly prevalent on college campuses across the nation. MSU Denver is no exception. In a recent University-wide survey, 44% of MSU Denver students reported that they were food insecure in the last 30 days. Whether that means students skip meals because they are low on funds or they don't consume enough quality food, without access to nutritious meals, it’s difficult for students to succeed. The gift you make on MSU Denver Day of Giving will help reduce food insecurity on campus.

Fighting Food Insecurity
The Roadrunner Food Pantry serves to fight hunger on campus by providing basic nutritional food for all MSU Denver students in times of need. The food pantry provides snacks and pantry items for meal preparation and is aligned with additional resources on and off campus that promote the overall well-being of the students. The food pantry is stocked mainly by donations from our Roadrunner family who are committed to helping MSU Denver students. Without the generous support of fellow Roadrunners, the food pantry would not be able to provide basic food and toiletries to students in need.

Support a Roadrunner
On average, a gift of $25 can cover one student's food pantry visit for a week's worth of groceries and toiletries. When you make a gift to the Roadrunner Food Pantry, your support will keep the food pantry shelves stocked and our student’s stomachs full. During the Fall 2019 semester, the Roadrunner Food Pantry served over 350 students!

Being a student is hard. It's even harder when you don't know where your next meal is coming from. Any gift, no matter the size, will impact the life of a student. Help us erase food insecurity at MSU Denver by supporting the Roadrunner Food Pantry!
