Campus Harvest Food Pantry

Now located in Davies 103

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.

Free Meals Available from Dining (academic year only)

We are excited to partner with UWEC Dining to offer a limited number of free meals for students in need. Students facing economic challenges, unemployment, inequality, violence, etc. are able to request free on-campus meals. All students (on and off campus, regardless of if you have a meal plan) can request meals. Students will be notified if meals are approved and available to them with information on how to use them.

Students must have accepted all federal financial aid (grants and loans - direct subsidized and unsubsidized) to qualify for these meals.

To request meals, fill out this form.

Pantry Desk Volunteers

The face of the organization, these are the volunteers who will be completing daily operations inside the pantry during our open hours. Responsibilities include greeting and assisting clientele, stocking shelves when new food arrives, and keeping pantry records.

Requirements: Ability to lift up to 40 lbs, availability during pantry hours, confidentiality agreement

Food Delivery Volunteers

This position requires the least amount of time from our volunteers but is crucial for the continuation of our pantry. When food is ordered from Feed My People, it is delivered between Brewer and Centennial on Tuesdays between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. We rely on our volunteers to transport the food from the delivery truck to the pantry. These volunteers also help with Kwik Trip food rescue and must have a vehicle.

Requirements: Ability to lift 40+ lbs.
