Montgomery Essential Needs

Your surplus garden harvest can make a direct impact on campus. Many Western Michigan University students experience food insecurity and lack access to fresh fruits and vegetables. You can support your community by sharing your extra produce.

Follow these simple guidelines from the flyer to prepare your donation:

Only share high quality, fresh produce that you would eat yourself.

Wash away all dirt and debris from your items before you arrive.

Reach out to the pantry team to confirm current drop off hours and specific handling requests.

Bring your extra produce directly to the Bronco Food Pantry on campus. Contact the staff at [email protected] or call (269) 387-0706 with any questions.

We are closed today due to a campus leak. We will reopen on June 2nd at 11 AM. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Stay tuned for further updates.

Summer is officially here. Note these changes for your next visit.

Montgomery Essential Needs will be closed this Monday as we take time to honor Dr. King’s legacy of service and justice. We look forward to seeing you back on campus Tuesday!
