Columbus State University

The CSU Food Pantry is designed to assist students experiencing food insecurity by providing shelf stable, microwaveable meals and snacks, and hygiene products.

Students needing food assistance include traditional college students as well as nontraditional students who are raising children or assisting in the care of extended family. Please take the needs of other students into consideration when requesting larger quantities or limited items. 

Occasionally, a pantry request may need to be adjusted for unexpected reasons. Please understand that our inventory is primarily donation-based. Although we do our best to maintain accurate inventory of our items, some items may be unavailable when fulfilling your request. 

Also, note if you are placing an order for the River Park location. The drop off location will be in the lobby of Frank Brown Hall - We require a minimum order of 5 items or more ordered from the main campus food pantry for this location. If you need immediate support, please see the Free Market located on the second floor of Frank Brown Hall Room #2011. 

Finally, if we reach out to you about your food pantry not being picked up and do not hear from you. Your items will return to the shelf. We will make two email attempts to reach you over the period of 7 business days (does not include weekends). 

Thank you, 

Food Pantry Staff
