KSU BRED Basket

BRED Basket Vision

To improve the health and well-being of our Scholars by providing reliable access to nutritious food in welcoming environments through the generosity of volunteers, individuals, and community partnerships.

It’s not the lack of resources that causes failure. It’s the lack of resourcefulness. Things happen in life, and even more importantly things happen during your journey as a student. Oftentimes, as a student, you do not always know where to go to get the help you need. You may be aware of the resources on campus that include financial aid, tutoring, and academic advising but,  what about the things that affect you outside of your academic challenges? Family Scholar House has partnered with KYSU to provide resources students can utilize on their path to success. Here are opportunities available to you at no cost with Family Scholar House: Emergency Assistance, Advocacy Support, Success Coaching, Health & Wellness Coaching, Career Coaching, & Technology Assistance. In addition to resource finding, there is a pantry (known as the BRED Basket) located in the Student Center. The pantry has nonperishable/quick-cook food, as well as household and toiletry items available to all students. A list of frequently supplied items is listed below:
