Bear Pantry: Food Insecurity on Campus
Students should focus on learning and not worry about where their next meal is coming from.
Founded in February of 2019, MSU's Bear Pantry is an organization that is focused on alleviating food insecurity, hunger and poverty on Missouri State’s campus. According to a 2018 national study conducted by Wisconsin Hope Lab, about 36% of college students are experiencing hunger.
Bear Pantry’s mission is to serve members of the MSU community who are currently facing food insecurity. Not only do they combat hunger, they also provided everyday essentials we often take for granted; everything from toothpaste to socks!
Open Monday-Friday from 9-5 in University Hall 012, our Bears, whether they be students, faculty or staff, can come fill out a one-time application to utilize the pantry. Bear Pantry values confidentiality and simply wants our Bears to have one less thing to worry about during their Missouri State experience.
Bears should focus on their education and not have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. Make your gift today to support Bears in need!
Anyone who gives $50 or more in the month of March will receive a limited edition pair of Missouri State birthday socks while supplies last.
Specially designed by a student for our 115th birthday, wearing these socks is a great way to make your Missouri STATEment.
*In addition, MSU alumni who make a qualifying gift of $50 or more receive a V.I.B.card - Very Important Bear.
If you cannot make a monetary gift today, please share this campaign on social media as your gift. You can even have a chance to get socks by sharing too!
If you have questions on the campaign, please contact AlexJohnson@MissouriState.edu.
