Wildcat Pantry
Our Impact
It's more than a food pantry. The Wildcat Pantry is a hub for basic needs resources and advocacy at CWU. Together with our community and campus partners we are working to redefine what basic needs means for all Wildcat's.
Wildcat Essentials Coalition
The Wildcat Essentials Coalition (pdf) is an organization of diverse interest groups varying from CWU faculty, staff, students, and community members dedicated to improving public good, cultivating community care, and constructing cross- cultural bridges that leverage resources to ensure wildcats are empowered and thrive at CWU.
