If you are unable to visit the pantry during posted hours, please email foodpantry@nmu.edu.

The pantry is funded, in part, by donations to the NMU Foundation. Throughout the academic year, various food drives provide supplemental food and products to the pantry. In addition to the organized food drive events, we are continuously thankful for the donations and contributions by members of the NMU community, alumni, and area supporters.
