FREE Food Weekly
As college students we know the broke life very well. One of the hidden gems on campus is the Student Pantry. By law, all students of the university are allowed to receive a weekly food supply at the pantry. The student pantry is located in the back end of the University Center. Upon your arrival, you will be given a checklist of a wide variety of items that you can choose to receive. You are by no means obligated to take all the items on the list, but you are restricted to those items at their quantities. The student pantry serves to provide the basic nutrients by offering fresh vegetables and fruits as well as canned foods.
All UTRGV students regardless of their income level or family contributions are able to get free food from the student pantry. Students who already have a meal plan are also eligible to receive student pantry items. When coming to the student pantry make sure to bring your reusable bag and a student ID.
If you would like to sign up to receive free food items each week go to the UTRGV Student Pantry: http://www.utrgv.edu/foodpantry/enroll/index.htm
