We Are…
The Marshall University Food Pantry!
Almost half of college students across the country are food insecure. The struggle of food insecurity is real in Huntington among our college students and community.
Marshall University is fighting this battle by giving students (and community members!) access to a Food Pantry.
Our mission is to eliminate hunger at Marshall University by providing food and promoting nutrition to our students and the community. We pride ourselves on providing a variety of nutrient-dense foods so we can help students and the community maintain a well-balanced diet.
