Food Pantry

Food insecurity is an increasing concern at colleges and universities across the country. Our Mission and Values move us to respond to this need with compassion and respect for human dignity. The Mercy College Food Pantry on the Toledo campus provides food, household, and hygiene items for Mercy College students, faculty and staff who may be experiencing hunger or struggling to buy food for their family. We also offer resources and support to our online student population.

Need to request items from the Food Pantry? Complete the Food Pantry request form.

In addition to supplemental food, we also provide resources to students who need long-term food assistance or are in need of help with housing, childcare, or covering the cost of student uniforms & supplies. Please contact Gerald Cameron at gerald.cameron@mercycollege.edu or 419-251-1866 to get connected with these resources.

This effort is supported by the Division of Student Affairs and is operated by the Office of Community and Spiritual Engagement.

Supporting the Mercy College Food Pantry

We are thankful to be a registered pantry with Seagate Food Bank of Northwest Ohio. We also rely on donations to help provide items not available from the food bank and to assist our students who reside out of state.

See below for a list of our top items needed at the Toledo campus (this list will be updated periodically). Toledo donations can be brought to Madison 5706 or placed in the collection box near the 5th floor Madison elevators by the Testing Center. If you would like to make a monetary donation to the Mercy College Food Pantry, contact Sandy Snyder at sandy_snyder@mercy.com or 419-696-7645. We use monetary donations to help provide grocery & gas cards as well as items not available to us from the food bank.
