Check the dropdown items from About Us for Clothing & Shelter Resources in the Ellensburg community. CWU Nights at the Ellensburg Community Clothing Center will be postponed during the summer, but will resume Fall 2019.
Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS)
The best way to determine if you are eligible for Basic Food benefits is to visit DSHS in person. They will be better set up to help find the best solution for you or help you understand if you qualify for any exemptions. Bring along your financial aid information, proof of income, work-study or employment information, and your meal plan information (if applicable).
