CWU Wildcat Pantry

The CWU Wildcat Pantry is a free resource serving Central Washington University students in Ellensburg by providing free groceries, food, hygiene products, and household essentials. Founded in 2015 through efforts by the PUSH club and advisory committee, the pantry has grown from eight shelf locations across campus to a dedicated space in Brooks Library, with additional grab-and-go sites throughout campus. The initiative is funded through a quarterly student fee, state allocation, and community donations, working to remove barriers to essential resources and support student well-being.
