Cardinal Kitchen
Who We Are
Created through a Student Government Association (SGA) initiative in the fall of 2014, Cardinal Kitchen is an on-campus food pantry that services Ball State undergraduate students, graduate students, and their families. Our mission is to reduce food insecurity and promote healthy eating on Ball State’s campus. During fall 2023, Cardinal Kitchen returned to its pre-COVID attendance, with anywhere from 80-125 students visiting the pantry during each opening.
"Students Helping Students"
Having relocated to the Student Center in May 2021, Cardinal Kitchen provides students with the opportunity to help their peers combat food insecurity. In addition to non-perishable food items, Cardinal Kitchen offers toiletries such as toilet paper, menstrual products, soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. Cardinal Kitchen also offers fresh food to our students during each opening, including fruit, vegetables, and loaves of bread. Donations made to the Cardinal Kitchen Fund may be utilized for, but are not limited to, the purchase of food, toiletries, and equipment needed to run the pantry.
