Since September of 2014, Campus Harvest food pantry aids students that self-identify as in need of supplemental food assistance. In a spring 2024 survey, 47% of UWEC students indicated some level of food insecurity.

We offer non-perishable and perishable food items (including frozen meats & fresh produce), period products, hygiene items, and miscellaneous cooking supplies. 

Students are able to utilize the pantry once per week.
