The UW Food Pantry
Located in Poplar Hall, our entrance is on the north side of the building at Brooklyn and 41st.

The UW Food Pantry provides food assistance to students, staff, and faculty who for whatever reason are having a hard time putting food on their plate.  It could be the result of a short-term disruption in your finances, a food desert in your community, or a lack of access to other financial assistance.  If you are making a choice between the food you need to sustain a healthy life and other pressing priorities we call this experience food insecurity.
