Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo
Welcome Mustangs!

About the program

The Mustang Meal Share program supports students on campus who are experiencing food insecurity by creating an avenue for students to donate meals from their dining plan. As part of the university’s Basic Needs Initiative, Mustang Meal Share allows any student with a dining plan to donate up to 10 meals per academic quarter by filling out an online form to help ensure that every student has access to nutritious meals so they can stay focused on their studies and success.

Are you experiencing food insecurity on campus? Students who are facing food insecurity can request meals by emailing deanofstudents@calpoly.edu or by phone at (805) 756-2472.  Our Campus Resources section below provides additional contact information for the Dean of Students Office and additional information about available resources can be found here.
