Student Parent Organization

The UT Outpost moved from the second floor of the University Avenue Building to the first floor of the Student Services Building on Jan. 12 in an attempt to increase accessibility. The on-campus food pantry and career closet now features new refrigerators and an estimated $600,000 renovation.

The day is here! Diapers, wipes, and period products are sales tax free in Texas! Thanks to Rep. Donna Howard, SB 379 passed this session and exempted these family care essentials from sales tax in our great state. We estimate that these savings, up to $100 per year, can help many families buy an additional month's worth of diapers. Austin Diaper Bank and the entire Texas Coalition of Diaper Banks are thrilled to see such positive change for the health and well-being of families and babies in Texas. Congrats, Rep. Howard and team! The National Diaper Bank Network Alliance For Period Supplies Huggies Baby2Baby
