NMSU Aggie Cupboard Food Pantry

The Mission of the Aggie Cupboard Food Pantry is to provide free supplementary food assistance to the NMSU community, including Las Cruces and DACC students, faculty, and staff. We strive to create an atmosphere of care, concern, and support for those who may be struggling with food insecurity. The Aggie Cupboard works to educate on the prevalence of food insecurity and hunger experienced by the NMSU community.

We envision a campus community free from hunger and fully able to be successful at NMSU. We desire to see students completely able to pursue academic success free from the worry of hunger. We believe that the NMSU community and the larger Las Cruces community already possess the resources and generosity necessary to support each other in times of need, and seek to mobilize that potential.

We recognize that New Mexico ranks high among the states in the US with the most food insecurity, among children and the general population, and that the demographics of our NMSU community reflect those of New Mexico in many ways. As the state’s land grant institution, NMSU has a proud history of making higher education accessible to all. We endeavor to continue that work through our efforts.
