Donate A Share:
Food security continues to be challenging for our many community members. We have set up a dedicated fund to receive your donations to help pay for fresh produce for students in need. You may donate here: https://foundation.wwu.edu/VikingSupportedAgriculture.
To date, $1,719.00 has been donated by the campus community, supplying the equivalent of 140 weeks of fresh produce for our community members experiencing food insecurity. This food has gone directly to pop-up and campus pantries where it is most accessible. Please consider a donation today and thank you for your continued generosity!

Western Washington University’s main campus is situated on the ancestral homelands of the Coast Salish Peoples, who have lived in the Salish Sea basin, all throughout the San Juan Islands and the North Cascades watershed from time immemorial. We express our deepest respect and gratitude to our Indigenous neighbors, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
