Students who want to visit the Food Pantry but have a conflict during the standard service hours should send a message to Angela Haensel (angela.haensel@cincinnatistate.edu).

  • The Surge Cupboard, in Main Building Room 137 (Clifton Campus), is open to all currently-registered Cincinnati State students.
  • Students may visit once a month to receive up to a 3-day supply of food and toiletries at no cost. Students should bring their Surge Card (student ID card) and their MyCState/Blackboard login information.
