The M.U.L.E. Community Cabinet was established in an effort to combat food insecurity among students. Food insecurity is defined as “not having reliable access to sufficient and nutritious food” according to the College and University Food Bank Alliance. The Cabinet offers supplemental non-perishable food items, personal hygiene products, school supplies, and more to students in need.


If you would like to donate items to our cabinet, please see the listing below of suggested donation items. All donations must be unopened and not expired to be accepted. Please email [email protected] to schedule drop off donations.
