Building a Healthier Community
You can drop off donations at the Central Food Pantry located in Tawanka 129E during open hours or at the Counseling and Wellness Office located in room 201 of the University Recreation Center. If you are interested in volunteering to help address food insecurity, contact us at foodpantry@ewu.edu or use the sign-up sheet below.
Each cabinet is "adopted" by an EWU club or organization whose members restock their assigned cabinet each week. Please email foodpantry@ewu.edu or message @ewu_foodpantries on Instagram with questions, suggestions, or if you are in need of accommodations.
The EWU pantry is open on Tuesday & Thursday afternoons between 1 PM - 4 PM, at the Cheney campus. This is the main pantry on campus, offering produce, dairy, meat, bread, canned goods, and hygiene products. Please try and bring a reusable bag and know that we currently serve 3 households at a time. Thank you for your patience in our efforts to keep our community healthy!
There are 7 EWU cabinets conveniently located across the Cheney campus and 1 in the Spokane Catalyst building. The cabinets are filled with non-perishable food items and hygiene products that can be accessed during the open hours of the building in which they are located.
For EWU students located on the WSU Spokane Campus, we have partnered to provide you access to their pantry. Please find their open times here.
