About

Montgomery Essential Needs 🥫

At Western Michigan University, every Bronco deserves the chance to succeed. Montgomery Essential Needs helps create golden opportunities for students by ensuring basic needs like food and essential supplies are never a barrier to academic success.

Today, 1 in 12 Broncos uses our food assistance programs. Through the Bronco Food Pantry and Bronco Boxes, students receive nutritious food, personal care items, and support for student parents—including diapers, formula, and baby food. Last year alone, more than 11,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables were distributed to students in need.

✨ Why Your Gift Matters ✨

The need for food assistance on campus continues to grow while federal and state support declines. Your gift helps keep pantry shelves stocked, expand support for students and families, and ensure no Bronco has to choose between paying bills and putting food on the table.

Together, we can make sure every Bronco has the support they need to thrive.
