“Food is our common ground, a universal experience.”
–James Beard
Whether we are promoting healthy meals, expanding access to Indigenous foods, or making sure college students have enough to eat, Washington State University fills plates across the state.
Bringing back First Foods
Native Americans have been working to bring back traditional Indigenous foods, with support from WSU.
Good food for all
WSU Extension improves access to healthy, fresh, and nourishing foods.
All at the table
Many college students face food insecurity. WSU, through the 2024 Common Reading and programs, educates and assists.
What’s cookin’
WSU students living in residence halls can get pretty creative with their culinary skills.
A win beyond the field
Soon after the Cougars clinched the 2024 Boeing Apple Cup, Washington State University achieved another victory thanks to the generosity of Cougs everywhere. In the first-ever WSU & UW Food Pantry Challenge, the WSU Pullman Cougar Food Pantry received 76 gifts, totaling $17,175. The University of Washington Food Pantry received 41 gifts, amounting to $2,600.
Donations received from the challenge will provide approximately 4,122 meals for WSU Pullman students, making an impact on their daily lives and future success.
Members of the Cougar community who missed the chance to give during the challenge can make donations at give.wsu.edu.
