Rowdy's Resource Room at Tahlequah
Give back. Established by students in the spring of 2014, the RiverHawk Food Pantry was rebranded in 2017 as Rowdy's Resource Room. Located on the Tahlequah campus and Broken Arrow campus, Rowdy's Resource Room is here to assist students in times of need. This resource provides non perishable food, gently used clothing, and office/school supplies. This donation-based program is a great way for students to give back and support their RiverHawks family.
Rowdy's Resource Room is open to all NSU students.

Accessing Rowdy's Resource Room
Students are asked to fill out an intake form the first time they access Rowdy's Resource Room. After the initial use, students simply need to present their NSU ID when visiting. This is used for reporting purposes to help us determine how often the Resource Room is being used.
Registration
The Rowdy's Resource Room registration will allow the staff to do more accurate reporting of use and allow patrons to register in a way that is convenient for them. After registering online, students will still need to present their NSU ID when visiting Rowdy's Resource Room.
