Laker Meal Share Program


Request a meal

DISCLAIMER: The Laker Meal Share Program has been temporarily suspended until further notice. Effective April 2024, the program ends on the last day of the Winter semester and is no longer accessible during the spring/summer months.  If you are in need of food and/or other necessities, please refer to the Replenish Basic Needs Center for assistance. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. For further assistance, please contact us at replenish@gvsu.edu or call (616)331-2748.

What does it mean to request a meal?

If you are in immediate need of a meal and don’t have an active meal plan, you are welcome to submit a request. Upon completion of your request, someone from the Laker Meal Share program will review your request and may authorize a certain number of meals to your Student ID Card for use at Fresh Food Company or Pew Plaza Cafe. Approval and assignment is based upon need and availability of donated meals. Please note: Only currently-enrolled students without a meal plan are eligible for the Laker Meal Share program. The program meal swipes expire and have to be used prior to the last day of the winter semester year.
