Swipe Out Hunger:
This program allows students to donate unused meal swipes at the end of each semester to other students who cannot afford a meal plan. These meals can be used at the Sbisa, Commons, or Duncan dining halls. Students may receive (3) initial swipes to begin. If you are experiencing food insecurity and would like to learn more about the resources complete the Swipe Out Hunger Form or contact Student Assistance Services at 979-845-3113. Please note that meals may only be distributed to students who have run out of meal swipes and dining dollars.
The form for Fall 2023 is open and will remain available until swipes are depleted for the semester.
