Frank Brown Hall Free Market

Our mission is to create an environment free of stigma for students who require support due to food insecurity. In addition to food, the pantry also provides personal hygiene and laundry items. Students can stop by Frank Brown Hall 2011 or visit the website to select items they need. Students can access the Free Market inventory using the Pantry Soft app. Students will need to set up an account in the Pantry Soft app when the visiting the Free Market.

The food pantry at Frank Brown Hall serves all students attending Columbus State University. The pantry is sustainable through private donations, food drives, and grant initiatives. We also collaborate with the main campus food pantry to help keep The RiverPark pantry stocked.
