Your surplus garden harvest can make a direct impact on campus. Many Western Michigan University students experience food insecurity and lack access to fresh fruits and vegetables. You can support your community by sharing your extra produce.

Follow these simple guidelines from the flyer to prepare your donation:

Only share high quality, fresh produce that you would eat yourself.

Wash away all dirt and debris from your items before you arrive.

Reach out to the pantry team to confirm current drop off hours and specific handling requests.

Bring your extra produce directly to the Bronco Food Pantry on campus. Contact the staff at [email protected] or call (269) 387-0706 with any questions.
