Dining Services
Part of Living Well is Eating Well
Dining options at Holy Family University are flexible, in keeping with the practical needs of our students and staff. We offer tiered meal plans to provide for the needs of commuters as well as those in residence. Our primary dining hall preparing fresh meals is the Tiger Café, found in the Campus Center. We increasingly source foods from local providers whenever possible. If you have dietary preferences/restrictions, please tell us.
It's All About the Food
The Kitchen and Catering Office is located in the Campus Center, on the First Floor..
If you need to send something to Dining Services, please fax your information to 267-341-3497.
Meal Plans
Residential students are required to purchase a minimum number of meals, which will be placed on your meal plan card. This avoids the need to carry cash while offering discounts and incentives for quantity purchases.
Meal plans are required for students living in either Stevenson Lane Residence or St. Joseph Hall. Garden residents have the option of selecting either a meal plan or swipe plan. Selection of meal plans is done through the Residence Life application process. Commuter students may purchase a meal plan through Student Accounts.
