Javelina Care Closet


Javelina Care Closet—Currently located in room 102 of Sam Fore Hall, is a combination professional clothing closet and a food, school supply, and hygiene product pantry.  

The Care Closet's supply of clothing, hygiene, and school supply products is based on donations from the Campus and the greater Kingsville Community.  A partnership with the Coastal Bend Food Bank supports the food pantry portion of the closet. 

Items are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and limits apply as demand dictates.

The purpose of this pantry is to aid the community of Texas A&M University-Kingsville in the event of a short-term food and/or hygiene shortage. The Javelina Care Closet is a proud member of the College and University Food Bank Alliance.

Hours of Operation:  

The Javelina Care Closet hours may change during the first few weeks of Fall 2026.

Please call the Javelina Care Closet at 361-593-3608 or Student Health and Wellness at 361-593-5080 to find out when we are open each week.
