"I talked to many people on this campus that were food insecure," Texas Woman's University nutrition and food science student Alexandra Mack said."So that's why I started working with Minerva's Market.""The problem with a lot of cookbooks is there are just a lot of ingredients and you have to have a lot of different equipment," Mack said."That's just not feasible for a lot of college students.

That's more than double the number of households in the general public.O'Keefe is Executive Director of CARE at Texas Woman's University, which runs Minerva's Market.
