Laker Meal Share Program
What is Laker Meal Share Program?
The Laker Meal Share program is a meal swipe donation program that enables Grand Valley students to donate their unused meal swipes to fellow students in need of support.
How it Works
If you are in immediate need of a meal and don’t have an active meal plan, you are welcome to submit a request. Only currently-enrolled students without a meal plan are eligible for the Laker Meal Share program. Upon completion of your request, someone from the Replenish Basic Needs Center team will review your request and may authorize a certain number of meals to your Student ID Card for use. Meals may be accessed through the barcode on your student ID and used at The Dish (Kleiner), Fresh Food Company (Commons), and Seidman Café (Pew).
Further Guidelines for Program:
- The Dish and Fresh Food Company are the all-you-care-to-eat locations on Allendale Campus.Seidman Café offers meal options on Grand Rapids Pew Campus. Hours can be found here: Hours and Menus.
- Meals are only active when classes are in session. They will not be active during breaks such as Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, Holiday Break, and Spring Break.
- All meals expire at the end of the academic year in April.
- Approval and assignment is based upon need and availability of donated meals.
