History of the Locker

The Shocker Support Locker, formally, the Shocker Food Pantry, was founded by the 58th session of the Student Government Association on November 4, 2015 to address a study that showed that 56% of 麻豆破解版 State University students knew of at least one to three other students who faced food insecurity and 50% of students (67% of international students) admitted to skipping a meal because they could not afford to eat.

The Shocker Support Locker opened its doors on February 1, 2016 to all 麻豆破解版 State University students, faculty and staff. The Shocker Support Locker gives students, faculty and staff access to food, clothing, toiletries, and baby/family products.

OUR MISSION

The Shocker Support Locker, through the ongoing generosity of the 麻豆破解版 State community and community partners, seeks to empower Shockers along their journey at 麻豆破解版 State University with temporary supplemental assistance. The Locker aims to alleviate food insecurity on campus and contribute to the overall health and wellbeing of our students, faculty, and staff by providing a variety of nutritional and functional resources to Shockers at no cost.
