Thu, 12 Mar 2026 14:40:32 +0000 Non-Perishable Food Drive Donations http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/67603 <div> Good food fuels a healthy mind! When students do not have regular access to nutritious meals, stress, anxiety and depression often follow along with the harmful effects of inadequate nutrition. Persistent uncertainty of eating a meal affects their emotional well-being and may lead to feelings of shame or isolation. Consider that poor mental health can make it more difficult for students to manage resources, maintain employment or seek assistance—creating a cycle that perpetuates food insecurity. Supporting food security is a powerful way to promote mental wellness in our campus and community.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Andrews University cares for the WHOLE person. As one demonstration of our care, kindly bring shelf-stable pantry essentials, grains, staples, canned goods, dairy alternatives and protein-filled items.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Food Drive Donation Guide</div> Help us stock up on nutritious, non-perishable items!
