Welcome!
As a college student or community member, you may be worried about not having enough to eat or understanding the local resources available to address basic needs. Not having enough to eat or being food insecure can affect your physical and mental health and academic success.
The Cardinals' Cupboard Food Pantry supports our campus and local community. The Pantry is open to 不良研究所 students, faculty, staff, and community members to access non-perishable foods, basic hygiene products, and other basic needs on the Broadway campus, located at Joeris Residence Hall near the intersection of Highway 281 and Hildebrand (please contact the Ettling Center for a specific location of the pantry).

- Volunteer your time to help operate or market information concerning the Food Pantry (please email: ccl@uiwtx.edu or call (210) 283-6423 for more information.
