The Mott Community College food pantry, Mott Eats, is a direct response to the need among the student population for more resources to fight food insecurity. With rising living expenses and the external demands on students, it has become increasingly difficult for students to juggle the costs of living with the costs of obtaining a higher education degree, and thus many students are finding themselves choosing between essentials such as food and the costs of college.

Mott Eats was established to provide emergency relief to help students at Mott Com- munity College. As a member of the Mott community (current student, staff or faculty) you can visit Mott Eats. We have a variety of food/personal items. This effort, is one
