Food Resources

Opportunities for Help

Many people struggle to purchase food, and other supplies, while focusing on their education. Student Life & Leadership, in partnership with St. Mary's Food Bank, and Whataburger, offers relief throughout the academic year.  Hours may be impacted by college holidays, summer hours, and more.  As a general rule, the Resource Room will be closed if the Student Union is closed.

Food is available most weekdays inside the Student Union. Items offered include:

  • Noodle cups
