Do you know PSU has a Student Food Pantry?

We do! Any student taking at least one credit hour per term can visit the Student Food Pantry located in room 325 on the third floor of the Smith Memorial Student Union (SMSU) to receive up to five items per day. The Student Food Pantry is open Monday through Friday during term time from Noon-2:00 p.m. You must present your student I.D. Students are encouraged to bring a reusable shopping bag. The Student Food Pantry is volunteer run and strives to create a stigma-free, welcoming environment. Visit the PSU Student Food Pantry for more information, to learn how to become involved, or how to donate.
