Laker Meal Share Program
What does it mean to request a meal?
If you are in immediate need of a meal and don’t have an active meal plan, you are welcome to submit a request. Upon completion of your request, someone from the Laker Meal Share program will review your request and may authorize a certain number of meals to your Student ID Card for use at Fresh Food Company or Pew Plaza Cafe. Approval and assignment is based upon need and availability of donated meals. Please note: Only currently-enrolled students without a meal plan are eligible for the Laker Meal Share program. The program meal swipes expire and have to be used prior to the last day of the winter semester year. Students are only allowed to receive up to 10 meals per semester.
