Helping You Succeed
The Resource Room, located on the main floor of the Margaret Sloss Center for Women and Gender Equity, opened in March of 2023.
Because,
- Nationally, economic disruptions like the pandemic and inflation disproportionately impact women of all races and ethnicities.
- Women make up the majority of single-parent households.
- Feminist work has always included removing barriers and resource sharing and the Sloss Center is happy to continue this tradition with the creation of the Resource Room.
Open from 10 am - 3 pm from Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, the Sloss Resource Room provides access to necessities, including but not limited to food, gender-affirming care items, parenting supplies, and books. Individuals can also access the resource room by appointment!
The Sloss Resource Room includes a satellite location of Iowa State's student-run pantry, The SHOP. We also collaborate with the Pop Up Shop run by the College of Human Sciences. Together, we amplify efforts to meet students needs across campus.
