As of January 2024, the Husky Food Access Network distributed over 4,106 pounds of food to our campus. We also provided students with free meal swipes, emergency meal packets, and farmer's market tokens. We are grateful for the generosity of our community so that assistance can be provided where it’s needed.

The Husky Food Access Network operates solely on donations. Any money contributed is used to stock food when supplies are running low, to keep the pantry running smoothly, and to help with our educational programs.

Host a Food Drive
Creating a food drive through your organization is a fantastic way to support HuskyFAN and feed our community in need. If you want to have an event, please contact us (huskyfan@mtu.edu) so that we can coordinate with you.
Some members of our community don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Thanks for joining us to eliminate food insecurity!
