Student Nutrition Access Center (SNAC)

The mission of the Student Nutrition Access Center (SNAC) is to provide Aggies with a
hunger-free education by being a supportive and inclusive environment that offers nutritious
and diverse food options while also fostering educational opportunities to empower students in
their academic pursuits.

SNAC engages in three main activities on campus. Its primary role is to serve as the food
pantry for USU. Additionally, SNAC is responsible for food recovery at USU. And since
moving to the Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Science Department (NDFS), SNAC has taken the
initiative to bring more educational services to students. SNAC is currently serving between
1,000 and 1,500 students per week.

Food pantry patrons may receive assistance once per week, no questions asked.
