MISSON: The EWU Food Pantry Program aims to alleviate hunger and foster a healthy and inclusive community by providing access to nutritious food.
EWU students, staff and faculty are invited to take what they need from the cabinets and central pantry. The is no need to qualify the pantry is open to any Eag in need.
Starting Fall Quarter 2022, Food Pantry Clients will be asked to present their EWU ID.
We're mindful of the distress this change will cause.
Second Harvest does provide a resource to find food pantries and meal sites located near you.

Food Cabinets
There are 7 food cabinets at EWU Cheney and 1 at the new EWU Catalyst Building in Spokane.
Each cabinet is filled with non-perishable food items and hygiene products.
The cabinets can be accessed during the opening hours of the building in which they are located in (see map below for specific details on locations within buildings).
Each cabinet is "adopted" by an EWU club or organization whose members restock their assigned cabinet each week.
Visitors are asked to complete a quick "check-out" survey whenever they take something from the cabinet.
Please email foodpantry@ewu.edu or message @ewu_foodpantries on Instagram with questions or if you are in need of accommodations.
