Today we take a moment to remember 9/11, a day that has shaped our communities, our country, and the way we care for one another.

As we honor those who have fallen and who have served, it also reminds us how important it is to have a community.

At the Huskies Food Pantry, we see the power of community every day. While our primary mission is to address hunger, we also strive to foster dignity, connection, and hope. We believe that no one should have to face life's challenges alone.

On World Su***de Prevention Day, we encourage everyone to reach out, check in, and remind the people in their lives that they matter. A simple conversation, a kind gesture, or a listening ear can make a meaningful difference.

Remember, you are not alone.

If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Students can also contact the St. Cloud State University Crisis Line at (888) 354-2887.

It was a SOUPer evening at the SCSU Community Garden! From garden-grown ingredients to meaningful conversations, tonight was a reminder that community flourishes when we gather together.

Thank you to all the students who joined us for a Serving of Community. Together, we shared a meal, made new connections, and learned about resources that help strengthen our campus community.

A huge thank you to Dr. Tracy Ore for preparing a delicious minestrone soup and fresh pesto using pantry staples like navy beans and chickpeas, along with fresh produce grown right in the garden. Thank you to Backwards Bread Co. for donating fresh bread that helped make the meal complete.

Students also connected with Second Harvest Heartland’s SNAP Outreach Program and learned more about campus support services, including Case Management through Counseling and Psychological Services.

The Huskies Food Pantry uses the Mill Food Recycler to reduce food waste and transform leftover food scraps into a valuable community resource. The Mill system accepts a wide range of food scraps, including meat, bones, dairy products, and produce, and then dries and grinds them into nutrient-rich Food Grounds. The Mill reduces food scraps by up to 80%, keeps food out of landfills, and creates a useful product to share with the community.

Food Grounds can be used to improve soil health in home gardens, flower beds, and landscaping projects; mixed into compost piles to support composting; or shared with community gardens and other sustainability initiatives. Where permitted, Food Grounds may also be used as a supplemental feed source for chickens.

If you would like to receive Food Grounds, please email [email protected]. Each bag contains approximately 4 to 5 pounds of Food Grounds. There is no set cost; however, we kindly ask for a freewill donation to the Huskies Food Pantry to support our ongoing sustainability efforts and keep the pantry stocked to serve students. Together, we can reduce food waste, support local growing initiatives, and strengthen our campus community.
