Food insecurity is a growing issue at colleges across the country. At WCC, your generous donations of groceries and hygiene products are helping to meet the needs of students and keeping them on track to reaching their educational goals.
Our cupboard distributes hundreds of pounds of groceries each semester. On average, each student who qualifies collects 2 bags of food four times per semester.
How to donate
- Review our wish list of needs below, bolded ones are most needed (updated regularly)
- Bring items from the list to Counseling & Career Planning in room 206 in the Student Center building during the week from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
- Please remember to check expiration dates before donating. Non-breakable containers are preferred by students as well.
- Make monetary donation
