We're Here To Help

We know college can be rough. We know there are students who struggle with food insecurity. Food insecurity is defined as the state of being without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. The Office of Student Life has partnered with the Galveston Food Bank to bring a student food pantry to campus that is able to assist those in need. Learn more about The Picnic Basket, and how you can support it.
