Swipe Out Hunger

This program allows students to receive meal swipes when they are struggling to afford food. 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 Life’s Student Assistance Services program area at 979.845.3113.
