Food insecurity impacts many people \u2013 if that\u2019s you, please know you are not alone. The Tarleton Purple Pantry is here to assist and connect you to food resources in your community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meal swipes offered through the Texan Food Security Program are currently unavailable.<\/strong> We know how valuable this program is to our students. While we explore options for the meal swipe program, the Purple Pantry is stocked with a variety of grab-and-go items for students who need a meal while on campus. As always, we ask that you take only what you need so that all Texans who rely on the pantry can access food when they need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
