Free, Anonymous and Here for You
Located next to the Student Affairs desk on the second floor of St. Francis Hall, the Student Food Pantry is a free and anonymous resource providing supplemental groceries and hygiene supplies to FranU students. Run by the Office of Student Affairs with the assistance of SGA, the pantry is available to all students on campus and is supported entirely through donations from students, faculty, staff and the local community.
Our goal is simple: make sure every student has access to basic necessities so they can focus on learning and thriving.

“The food pantry has been such a wonderful asset to me and my peers—fueling early mornings and late-night study sessions, providing meals when I didn’t bring my own, and even helping with groceries for my wife and me. It has been a true blessing.”
