About

Our mission is to eliminate hunger at Texas A&M, raise awareness about food insecurity in college communities, and demonstrate the power of the Aggie Spirit. The 12th Can proudly serves as a Brazos Valley Food Bank Agency Partner and operates as an Executive Committee under the Texas A&M Student Government Association.

Entirely student-operated, we manage every aspect of our on-campus food pantry, from placing food orders and sorting donations to staffing pantry openings. Our diverse team brings unique perspectives and a shared dedication to selflessly serving the Aggie community. Recognizing the importance of our work, we strive to ensure The 12th Can remains a dependable resource for all Aggies who need it. Our top priority is our clients’ comfort. We aim to create a welcoming shopping experience, offering a wide variety of nutritious food tailored to clients' preferences while preserving their anonymity. As part of the Aggie Family, it’s our honor to support our fellow Aggies!
