Our Purpose

Our purpose is to...provide assistance to nontraditional students who attend Southern Adventist University and who are not on the meal plan. We know it can be difficult to be an older student or a student family that takes classes and deals with the responsibilities of life all on their own, often without a support system. We want to be that support system, that helping hand, and promote a sense of community among this population. We want to alleviate some of the need as well as promote healthy eating and self-sufficiency.
