Do you have a hankering for a hearty handout? Below is your guide to the whens and wheres of free foodstuffs on campus from Thursday through Sunday.

Courtesy of USC's First College Ministry, you can stop by a tent on Greene Street on Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and grab a free freeze pop.

If a cold freeze pop isn't enough, you can join the Methodist Student Network for a "Pizza and Walmart Run" on Thursday evening from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The organization will meet at their 728 Pickens St. location.

Perhaps you didn't get quite enough pizza. Not to worry — just mosey on down to Five Points at 2121 Devine St. to enjoy some shagging and sweet tea with the Shandon College Ministry from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

As you make your way back to campus, stop by the Capstone Room for a game night, pizza included, from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. hosted by Campus Crusade for Christ.

If you're a freshman, your delicious Thursday isn't over until you've paid a visit to Uncle Maddio's Pizza between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. to snag yet another free pizza from your freeze pop friends at the First College Ministry. 

The food and games do not end Thursday. Students are free to join the International Student Association on the Russell House side of Davis Field on Friday for the International Students Welcome Picnic, which will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

You may have eaten at the picnic, but the games and the making new friends from abroad just might have worn you out and made you hungry again. Campus Crusade for Christ will come to the rescue again with Wings and Trivia in the Bates West Common Room from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Grab some friends and compete in teams of four while enjoying free wings.

If trivia isn't your thing, head over to the Longstreet Theatre side of Davis Field for the Back to School Cookout at the same time as Wings and Trivia, hosted by Campus Advance.

Carolina Baptist Collegiate Ministry will hold their own cookout Friday evening as well from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at their 819 Main St. location.

What better way to finish off your Friday feeding frenzy than Midnight Pancakes at the Campus Ministry Center at 728 Pickens St. from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.?

And just because there's no class doesn't mean there aren't still many opportunities to share a meal with your peers. You can get to know the team behind Dance Marathon at their FTKookout on Davis Field from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. 

Breakfast will be served on Greene Street on Sunday morning courtesy of the First College Ministry. They'll be set up by Longstreet Theatre from 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. 

Once lunch time comes around, you can spend some more time with Shandon Baptist Church as they hold a meal full of southern, homemade treats from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at 5250 Forest Drive.

The cookouts return to finish things out on Sunday with a Welcome Back Cookout hosted by St. Thomas Moore Catholic Student Center from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 1610 Greene St.
