The Shop is here to support current ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ students who are experiencing food insecurity by offering free non-perishable food and everyday essentials at no cost. This campus resource is made possible through a partnership among Parent and Family Programs, Student Advocacy and Support, and ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Libraries.
We are open Tuesdays (1–6 p.m.) and Fridays (1–5 p.m.) for the remainder of the fall semester. Starting fall 2025, students will need to schedule a brief meeting to begin or continue utilizing The Shop.
The access The Shop
Started through a generous donation, The Shop is sustained by the ongoing support of the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ community. There are two ways you can contribute non-perishable goods and essentials to ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ students in need.
View our Amazon Wishlist, a quick and easy way to donate. The items found on this list are high-need items to better serve our students. For questions, please email theshop@smu.edu.
Drop-off Donations
We accept donations of non-perishable food and basic essentials, which may be dropped off Monday-Friday (8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.) in the Office of the Dean of Students, located in Hughes-Trigg Student ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ, Suite 205.
We know that food insecurity does not always exist as a sole concern. We are here to help. Please contact the Office of the Dean of Students about other resources that may be available to you.
