Food Cabinets

There are 8 food cabinets at EWU Cheney, 1 located outside of room 218 in Spokane’s Catalyst Building and 1 located under the stairs at the back of EWU’s SIERR Nursing Suite.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any EWU student, staff or faculty member is welcome to utilize the pantry program. We only ask you present an EWU ID.

We do not ask for income or proof of address. We do ask for an email address for the purpose of being able to contact guests in the case that there is a recall on a food item.

Please bring your EWU ID and your own grocery bag. While we sometimes have extra bags for you to use, it is rare.

Guests are encouraged to take the amount of food that they will use while being mindful the food and other items they take are not going to waste.
