Free groceries on Thursdays, campus by campus

Amy · 12 September 2026 · Student resources

Four DFW pantries that never ask for paperwork, with the hours that are actually right this semester.

What you need

A student ID. That is the whole list — no income paperwork, no referral, no appointment.

Where and when

  • UT Dallas — Comet Cupboard, Thursdays 11am to 3pm
  • UT Arlington — Thursdays 12pm to 4pm
  • UNT — Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10am to 2pm
  • Dallas College — varies by campus, check before you go

Bring a tote. They run out of bags by the afternoon, and produce arrives on Thursday mornings, so going early is worth it.

If the shelves look picked over, ask. There is usually more in the back.

We re-check these hours every semester, because they change more often than anyone announces.

Know something we should share?

If it saves a DFW student money, we want it.
