Michelle Fraley-Jines delivers food for students on March 20, 2025 at Thompson Point in Carbondale, Illinois.

The SIU Undergraduate Student Government announced on March 17 that they had put together a project to offer more food options at the university. While the dining halls close at 7:30 at Lentz and Trueblood, several local food trucks will offer students an after-hour option on Thursdays for the rest of the spring semester. 

 

Students can expect to find the food trucks outside the softball field by the Towers and outside of Lentz hall. The food trucks will include Haute Wheels, Dave’s Bagels, Winston’s Bagels by B-Rad, and Taqueria Jiminez.

Feed My Sheep guests and volunteers alike say that in addition to policy changes and rising hunger, the community must face the effects of harmful stereotypes. Diana Doroubi, a church employee who does custodial work for the kitchen, says the people who come through their doors often encounter misconceptions spread by "people inciting fear, talking about things they have no idea about." She feels that the unhoused population in Carbondale is misrepresented, likely due to a lack of understanding which causes people to jump to conclusions. Whether at Sunday Service or a weekday meal, Bethel aims to combat this type of thinking. A message board in front of the building proudly reads "Choose love over judgement."
