Spearheaded by the Worden School of Social Service, and in partnership with the San Antonio Food Bank, the Food Pantry is designed to address food insecurity at OLLU.
Supported by local food donations and the OLLU community garden, the Food Pantry will increase access to a stable, healthy, no-cost food supply, including fresh produce for all graduate and undergraduate students. The increased access to food will help students place greater focus on their studies and help them achieve academic success.

The Food Pantry’s greatest need is monetary donations to purchase the necessary food and equipment to support this effort.
With support from the community, this initiative has the potential to impact the lives of hundreds of current and future OLLU students. Learn more about the OLLU Food Pantry.
