Nutrition Resources
Whether you have food allergies, dietary restrictions or simply need some assistance with your food selections, Holy Cross Dining can provide the resources to help you make delicious choices safely and easily.
For several years, Holy Cross Dining has posted nutrition information for all dining locations on the department’s menu web pages. Last year we began providing nutrition facts at the point of service in Kimball Main Dining Room. This year, we are making nutrition information even more accessible with nutrition facts and allergen information available at additional dining locations. Our on line menu platform is being upgraded to be smart phone friendly and searching for your preferred menu items will be easier than ever with a new filtering search function.

Students with food allergies should meet with the dietitian to learn about special food allergy services available and how to make the most of the resources provided. Email the Dietitian, Alyssa Pittman, RD at apittman@holycross.edu or call 508-793-3618.
