GRANTS, NM – Strategically located in one of the two studentbuilt homes on the NMSU Grants campus is the Aggie Cupboard, a free food pantry for the entire NMSU Grants community, including students, faculty, and staff. One in eight people go hungry in New Mexico, according to the charity, Feeding America, and that fact wasn’t lost on Mathematics professor, David Bishop, who had been talking with his wife, Suzanne, for years about how they could make an impact. Suzanne took a leap and spearheaded what is now the Aggie Cupboard when she donated $1,000 from a stimulus check to purchase food for the project that until that point had been a dream. According to the organization Students Against Hunger, more than 200 college campuses across this country have established food pantries to help students, staff, and faculty survive as food costs continue to outpace earnings.
