This study explored the practices and experiences of food resource managers at ten community colleges in the southwestern United States, highlighting their use of food resource rooms to assist food-insecure students. Utilizing the CFIR's domains of intervention source, inner setting, and process, the study probed into the food resource managers' strategies in the food pantry to aid food-insecure students. It examined the characteristics of the food resource room as an intervention, the influence of food resource room designs, and the effects of the community college district's culture, climate, and structure on these managers. Furthermore, the study delved into managers' views on the process of food program implementation, from engagement to evaluation. Data was gathered through qualitative interviews with ten food resource managers. Six themes emerged from the study: (a) high utilization of food pantry indicates moderate to high levels of food insecurity; (b) managers' years of experience and scope of facility oversight had a significant impact on food pantry implementation; (c) flexible and needs responsive nature of the pantry helped managers in their support of food-insecure students; (d) supportive organizational culture positively impacts food resource managers' ability to support students; (e) a lack of secure funding for the food pantry led to managers to seek out funding support from external partners; and (f) the accuracy of food pantry effectiveness remains uncertain without a comprehensive assessment. The study's findings can provide insights into the optimization of food pantries to assist food-insecure students and spotlight measures that higher education institutions might undertake to strengthen the efforts of food resource managers in combating food insecurity.
