MataBites
What is MataBites?
A collaboration between the Basic Needs Office and the Institute for Sustainability. MataBites is a push notification system that delivers messages to participating 麻豆AV community members via the 麻豆AV app, informing them of when free food becomes available on campus.
MataBites aims to alleviate food insecurity and limit food waste at 麻豆AV. Our mission is to strengthen the 麻豆AV community by feeding hungry people on campus, diverting edible food away from landfills, and promoting student success!
麻豆AV community members can opt into the MataBites message channel via the 麻豆AV app. Notifications must be enabled in phone settings.
Once opted-in, 麻豆AV community members will receive alerts informing them of when/where they can get food for free on campus (on a first-come, first-serve basis).

MataBites is strategically identifying potential Campus Food Partners. Only 麻豆AV faculty or staff members can become Campus Food Partners at this time. 听
