Monty's Market

Free food for students, no questions asked

Monty's Market seeks to alleviate student challenges by gathering donations in response to the needs of our students. We are committed to fulfill the needs of MVC lions through food distribution and support services. Distributions are free to enrolled students in need.

Monty's Market was founded by the Human Services program and is managed by MVC's Basic Needs and Wellness team.

A student shouldn't have to choose between eating well and learning well.”

How We Help

Monty's Market assists any currently enrolled MVC student who may be experiencing hardship or food insecurity. Students may receive one bag of food, household and hygiene products per week. Walk-in shopping during market hours does not require registration, while pick-up and delivery distribution does.

Upcoming Distributions

Students are limited to one bag every two weeks. Registration helps to ensure adequate supplies. Students seeking pick-up or delivery must register. Students doing walk-in shopping do not have to, but are encouraged to, register. Students in need of a light snack or quick meal may drop by daily during normal business hours.
