Columbus Tupelo West Point Starkville, MS, November 9, 2026 — Bully’s Food Pantry, representing Mississippi State University (MSU), has initiated its third annual competition known as the Egg Bowl Food Fight. This event partners MSU with Mississippi’s Grove Grocery in a friendly rivalry aimed at collecting essential items to support local communities facing hunger.

The competition officially began on November 1st and is scheduled to conclude on November 20th. During this period, both institutions are actively encouraging the public to contribute donations. The primary goal of the Egg Bowl Food Fight is to gather non-perishable food items, hygiene products, and monetary contributions. These contributions are intended to combat hunger and provide necessary supplies to those in need.

The event leverages the existing rivalry between Mississippi State University and its competitor, typically associated with the annual Egg Bowl football game, as a platform to heighten awareness for the cause of food security. By engaging alumni, students, and the wider community through this spirited competition, organizers aim to maximize donations and impact.

Donations can be made through two primary channels. Individuals wishing to contribute can do so online. Alternatively, physical donations are accepted directly at Bully’s Pantry, located on the Mississippi State University campus.

The university’s participation underscores a commitment to community service and addressing critical needs within the region. The success of the Egg Bowl Food Fight is measured by the collective volume and value of donations received by both participating organizations.
