Guidelines for a Respectful Community Table
To keep our dining space a welcoming haven for all:
• Check in with the cashier and show your student ID.
• Choose to dine in or take a To-Go box – not both.
• No food leaves without a To-Go box or reusable cup.
• Keep dishes in the cafeteria.
• One entrée at a time – come back for more!
• Eat what you take, use serving utensils, and treat everyone with kindness.
• Dress modestly (sleeved shirts, appropriate shorts, no cleats or muddy shoes).
• No cell phones in the serving line.
• Clean up after yourself – return dishes, toss trash, and push in chairs.
• Share concerns with the Food Service Director – we value your voice.
Eco To-Go: Caring for God's Creation
We’re stewards of the earth, so our Eco To-Go program lets you reduce waste with reusable containers. Pay a one-time $10 deposit for your first container and cup, fill up, and return it next time for a clean swap.
It’s a simple way to honor sustainability while staying on the go – available every meal!
