The VRSC's Pocket Pantry offers temporary relief to student veterans who need immediate access to non-perishable foods and personal hygiene items. Students are able to discreetly and conveniently shop from the pantry during regular VRSC hours. Ask any VRSC staff member for assistance and access to the pantry.  The VRSC Pocket Pantry is sustainable thanks to a generous grant from Brazos Valley Cares.

Aggie Veterans experiencing a financial emergency are encouraged to apply for the VRSC's SAVE Fund and connect with Brazos Valley Cares for additional support.
