Surge Cupboard announces Fall Semester hours & Farmer’s Market days

During Fall Semester 2023, the Surge Cupboard Food Pantry, located in Main 137 (Clifton Campus), will be open three days each week.

Service hours are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from noon to 3 p.m.

• The Surge Cupboard is available to all currently-registered Cincinnati State students.
• Students may visit once a month to receive up to a 3-day supply of food and toiletries at no cost. Students should bring their Surge Card (student ID card) and their MyCState/Blackboard login information.

Students who want to visit the Food Pantry but have a conflict during the standard service hours should send a message to Angela Haensel (angela.haensel@cincinnatistate.edu).

If you want to drop off donations for the Food Pantry, look for donation boxes in academic division offices and some other Clifton Campus locations, including outside Main 137.

Farmer’s Market days will be offered three times during Fall Semester

Fall Farmer’s Market days are:

• Thursday, September 21
• Thursday, October 12
• Thursday, November 9

On Farmer’s Market days, free seasonal fruits and vegetables are available to any currently-registered Cincinnati State student.

• Distribution is from 11 a.m. until all produce is gone. The location is usually the ATLC First Floor Lounge, but look for announcements prior to each Market Day.

• The Farmer’s Market is part of a partnership between Cincinnati State and the Freestore Foodbank.
