Warrior Cupboard: On-Campus Food Shelf
The Warrior Cupboard is an on-campus food shelf for any WSU student. The Warrior Cupboard is located in the Integrated Wellness Complex, Room 130.
The goal is to ensure students have access to quality food on a regular basis through supplemental nutrition assistance when they need it.
If you're struggling to get enough to eat or if you're choosing to skip meals, so you can afford your textbooks or other expenses, consider reaching out to get access to this space. It's private, accessible, and easy to use.
