Cougar Food Pantry

What is the Cougar Food Pantry?

We know that it can be hard to make ends meet when you're paying for college and living on a tight budget. The Cougar Food Pantry can provide non-perishable items to WSU Vancouver students in need of food. The process to request food is simple, anonymous, and students are encouraged to take advantage of it.

Who is it for?

WSU Vancouver students in need of food.

How can I participate?

1. Request food if you need it! The Cougar Food Pantry is a free resource to benefit students at WSU Vancouver. If this resource would benefit you or your family, you are encouraged to utilize it. We strive to make the process as confidential as possible.

2. Refer students, friends and classmates. It can be hard to ask for help and sometimes we need a push from a friend or mentor to get the help we need.

3. Donate food. Bring non-perishable food items to the Cougar Center in the Student Services building.

Peanut butter, canned tuna, canned chicken, canned fruit, canned vegetables, macaroni and cheese, pasta and sauce, instant potatoes, rice and healthy cereals.
