Free Food Alert

Free Food Alert is a new way to stay informed when free food is available on campus after meetings, programs, or events.

Instead of leftover food going to waste, Free Food Alert sends notifications to students when food is available for pickup—helping reduce food waste while supporting student well-being.

How Free Food Alert works

• Campus offices and student organizations post alerts when they have leftover food.
• Students who sign up receive notifications with details about pickup location and timing.
• Food is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

How to sign up

Signing up is quick and free:

1. Create a Free Food Alert account using your IU email address.
2. Turn on notifications to receive alerts when food is available.

There is no obligation to pick up food. Signing up simply gives you the option to receive notifications.
