Food Insecurity
August 17, 2023
More than 47,000 UTSA students have benefited from free and nutritious food offered year-round by the Whataburger Resource Rooms, also known as the Roadrunner food pantries. Between January and June of this year, more than 10,000 students have already received help.
“The pantries haven’t slowed down since they opened six years ago. We are still helping so many students with basic daily needs,” said Nikki Lee, senior associate director of the UTSA Student Union who supervises the Whataburger Resource Rooms. “We saw a tremendous spike during the pandemic, opening up to serve UTSA faculty and staff needing our resources and we continue to serve so many even beyond food.”
Stocked with a variety of foods items, toiletries, school supplies and more, the pantries remain a welcoming place of support for students in need. It is one of many services supporting UTSA’s commitment to combat food insecurity so students can focus on their educational goals and achieve success.
