Does the institution host a food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource focused on alleviating food insecurity, hunger and poverty among students?:
Yes
A brief description of the food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource:
Opened in September of 2014, the Campus Harvest food pantry was developed to aid the high percentage of students that self-identified as in need of supplemental food assistance.
Run by student volunteers and open exclusively to University students, Campus Harvest is an easy way for our campus community to become a more unified whole. A majority of our products are collected through donations (both monetary and nutritional) from the campus and community.
Free Meals Available from Dining (ACADEMIC YEAR ONLY)
We are excited to partner with UWEC Dining to offer a limited number of free meals for students in need. Students facing economic challenges, unemployment, inequality, violence, etc. are able to request free on-campus meals. All students (on and off campus, regardless of if you have a meal plan) can request meals. Students will be notified if meals are approved and available to them with information on how to use them.
Students must have accepted all federal financial aid (grants and loans - direct subsidized and unsubsidized) to qualify.
