Wildcat Pantry
Get Involved
Interested in joining the fight against food insecurity? Volunteer at one of our three programs to end hunger.
Wildcat Pantry
The main responsibilities include pantry maintenance and assisting shoppers with check-in/out procedures. Volunteers are encouraged to study, read, and keep themselves busy during downtime. NOTE: training is required and shifts are in one-hour increments.
Two types of volunteers
Lead: Chooses a weekly schedule to volunteer for the quarter. Provides direct support to shoppers and drop-in volunteers.
- Great for students looking for long-term practicum/service hours and professional development right on campus!
Drop in: Sign-up for an open slot- no weekly schedule
Attend one of our quarterly training (1 hour) to learn about food safety, fostering a safe environment, and pantry protocols.
1:1 or small group training is available dependent on capacity. Email us to set up a training today!
Food Recovery
The food recovery program involves repackaging meals from Holmes Dining and delivering items to our satilight pantries across campus. Food recovery volunteer options are Monday through Thursday every week of the academic session.
NOTE: food handlers are required. Contact us to sign-up.
Wildcat Farm
The Wildcat Farm has several avenues for involvement from helping grow food for CWU to growing your own garden (for free). Check out their website to learn how you can get involved.
