Support Our Programs

The Backpack Program

Choose from our updated list of current product needs and have them conveniently drop shipped to our pantry.

Monetary Donations

When you make a gift to the Student Affairs Excellence Fund, you immediately support current students who are challenged with food insecurities. Financial donations allow us to purchase food at a reduced cost, ensuring a steady inventory of needed items.

Donate Items

  • What items can be donated to the Backpack Program? Any un-opened, non-perishable, un-expired food items and personal care items. We can also accept cooking utensils and pots/pans that are in good condition, as well as resusable shopping bags.
  • Where can items be dropped off? Mashuda Hall at 1926 W Wisconsin. Please contact backpackprogram@marquette.edu to schedule a drop-off or for more information.

Organize a Food Drive

  • Who can organize a food/product drive? All Marquette University departments, student organizations, and external groups are encouraged to sponsor and organize Backpack Program support efforts.
