More than 80 MTSU students from throughout the campus assisted in packing 15,000 meals filled with a variety of nonperishable items as part of the university’s annual Big Event community service project. The event is held each year to provide Blue Raider students an opportunity to participate in “one big day of service.”
With no intervention, over 10% of Tennessee residents will face food scarcity this year.
MT One Stop and the Student Government Association started the Student Food Pantry in 2012. MTSU joined the College and University Food Bank Alliance in March 2017, which joins institutions with established food pantries or ones looking to start a food pantry. The items for the food pantry are stocked from food drives, individual and group donations, as well as monetary donations.
