DINING INFORMATION

Evangel Dining Options
Resident students have three meal plan options: 10 meals, 15 meals with 75 Bonus Bucks, or 20 meals with 100 Bonus Bucks for use in
the Crusader Dining Hall, the Joust, and in The Barracks coffee shop (proudly serving Starbucks coffee). Please note, food service is not
available during Thanksgiving, Christmas and spring breaks.

The food service staff also works with students who have specific dietary requirements due to allergies, medically required meals, and food
intolerances such as gluten or dairy. Are you a vegetarian? We also offer several options to meet those needs as well. Contact Joey Roberts
at robertsj@evangel.edu, 417-865-2815, ext. 7252, or see her at the Crusader Dining Hall for a consultation. If food service is unable to
accommodate a severe medical dietary need, a review panel may suggest other alternatives. In these rare cases, students may contact the
housing director (in Riggs Hall, 302C) to apply for a partial or full meal plan exemption.
