The Whataburger Resource Rooms, also known as the Roadrunner Pantry, serve the UTSA community through food and hygiene essentials. With all our generous donations, we have been able to serve 42,814 visitors, distribute 338,921 pounds of food and 58,497 non-food items such as toiletries and hygiene products since 2017.
Through generous donations, the Whataburger Resource Rooms are able to purchase fresh produce, dairy, and bread weekly in order to provide visitors with nutritious items in a self-shopping model. Students can also learn sustainable skills through pantry events and programs like SNAP workshops, recipes in a microwave, and budget shopping.
“Having the pantry to rely on when I am running low on food or supplies in general is one of the best feeling ever and I'm very happy with the work that is being done here for us. I am so grateful for the pantry! I wouldn't have enough to eat otherwise.”
