The MSU Student Food Bank will hold a fund-raiser at The Peanut Barrel Restaurant, 521 E. Grand River Ave., all day Tuesday.

The annual event will raise money toward the purchase of foods for the bank, which gives students without a residence hall meal plan access to free groceries.

Fund-raising coordinator Minerva Gebara said she thinks the event will be successful.

“All day, whatever they make for the day, they’ll give us a portion of the profits,” the business administration graduate student said. “It’s a great event.”

The MSU Student Food Bank donates food to about 600 students every two weeks, Gebara said.

“We have hundreds of students that are unable to provide for themselves, and every couple weeks, we offer them bags of groceries so they can feed themselves and their families,” she said.

“Last year, we got a little over $300 and we’re shooting for close to $1,000 this year.”
