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 for meals. 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 (Allendale) and Plaza Cafe (Pew Campus). Approval and assignment is based upon need and availability of donated meals. Please note: Only currently-enrolled students are eligible for the Laker Meal Share program.

!PLEASE READ!
This form is only OPEN DURING NON-BREAK DAYS DURING THE ACADEMIC SEMESTER. You can NOT request a meal during the university's scheduled breaks. Due to limited resources, meals are only available while the supply lasts. Thank you!
