Austin's KXAN News Features Bobcat Bounty

Austin's KXAN news featured Dr. Lesli Biediger Friedman and the TXST Bobcat Bounty food pantry's mission to ease the problem of food insecurity in the Bobcat community.

Bobcat Bounty is the first student-run, on-campus food pantry at Texas State University. It is run by students under the direction of faculty from the Food Security Learning Community in the Nutrition & Foods Program.

The majority of our food comes from the Hays County Food Bank. This partnership has allowed the creation of a grocery store style experience for participants. They can come in and select the foods they would like from us, which helps create autonomy and reduce food waste.
