About This Fund
The Mustang Market is SMSU’s permanent food and resource pantry. It provides students with food, cleaning supplies, and hygiene products, while also connecting them with support resources that help meet basic needs. The goal of the Mustang Market is to reduce food insecurity and support student academic success.
This year, the Mustang Market moved to a new location on campus, significantly expanding its space and services. Operating hours increased from once a month from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. to once a week from noon–7 p.m. The expanded facility also allows the pantry to offer a wider variety of food options, including frozen and refrigerated items as well as fresh produce.
As enrollment has grown, so has the need for these services. The Mustang Market has more than doubled the number of students it serves each month, increasing from an average of 144 students per month to 316 students per month.
