Virtual Food Pantry

UT San Antonio Health Science Center

Food Security Resources

Food Pantry Pilot Program
What is it?

During the food pantry pilot program, food kits will be distributed. These kits are curated to provide one day of nutritional support and offer nutritional assistance for students who may be facing food security needs.

Where can I pick up a kit?

Food kits will be available on Tuesday and Thursdays from 11 am – 1pm in the Briscoe Library building on the second floor on a cart in the lobby, while supplies last.

Each food kit includes a brief form that students must complete upon retrieval. The form will provide valuable feedback to help assess the need for future food pantry services.

What other student support resources are available?

Virtual Food Pantry

The Office of Student Life provides a virtual food pantry resource for continued support to students and learners with nutritional needs. View the bottom of this page for details.

Career Clothing Closet
