THE HIVE

The Hive is a student-led campus organization dedicated to fighting food insecurity among Detroit Mercy’s student body. We currently manage a student food pantry located in Room 143 of Reno Hall on the McNichols Campus. Its intention is to be a supplemental food source for currently enrolled students who need occasional help to make ends meet.

The Hive’s Mission:
In the spirit of UDM’s founders, Sister Catherine McAuley and St. Ignatius of Loyola, The Hive’s mission is to embody mercy and compassion by ensuring that no UDM student goes hungry. With the rising cost of food and the rollback of government benefits programs, an increasing number of people are facing food insecurity. College students are no exception. A 2019-2020 survey by the National Center for Education Statistics found that 20% of Michigan undergraduates deal with food insecurity on a regular basis. There is little doubt that this number is even higher today.

If you need assistance, have questions about our organization or would like to volunteer, please contact us at thehive@udmercy.edu.
