Welcome!
As a college student or community member, you may be worried about not having enough to eat or understanding what resources are available locally to address basic needs. Not having enough to eat or being food insecure can affect your physical and mental health, as well as your academic success.
The Cardinals' Cupboard Food Pantry is here to support our campus and local community. The Pantry is open to UIW students, faculty, staff and community members. We have two locations for students and community members to access non-perishable foods, basic hygiene products and other basic needs on the Broadway campus at Joeris Hall and near the Ettling Center for Civic Leadership and Sustainability (located in room 327 of the Administration).
