If your organization is looking to serve the community by raising food or funds, we would be so grateful. We have collaborated with the Greek community, student orgs, and establishments around the community. Each year, organizations provide over 2,000 pounds of food! To collaborate on a drive, contact us at foodpantry@uww.edu.

Volunteers help keep our pantry clean, organized and running smoothly. To help with stocking the shelves, creating a community food drive, or fundraising financial donations, contact foodpantry@uww.edu. We are always looking for volunteers to help with Feeding America Orders. Deliveries occur on Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. You can sign up for all Warhawk Pantry volunteer opportunities on Connect2.

We are in need of personal care items and our most popular food items. Please visit our Amazon Wishlist to find what our clients need the most. We would appreciate any donations, thank you for your support!

The pantry currently offers:

• A variety of nonperishable foods, including gluten free and vegan items
• Toiletries and personal care items like toothpaste, deodorant, feminine products, and shampoo. 
• Household items like laundry pods, paper napkins, and toilet paper
• School supplies such as pens, pencils, highlighters, folders, post-it notes, and flashcards

We ask patrons to limit their visits to once per week unless there is an emergency. Items are arranged shopping style, so people select what they’d like within certain limits. Other than that there is no limit in terms of points or pounds, etc.

All that the pantry offers is provided through donations. We work with Feeding America, a food bank based in Milwaukee, and purchase food for pennies on the dollar. We also accept donated food and other items.

No. We don’t do any type of means testing or ask students to declare their income as part of our process. We just ask a few questions about whether they live on or off campus and whether they have dependents at home. We collect that information as part of our agreement with the food bank that supplies us and also to better understand who we are serving. Please try to bring your HawkCard with you to help us keep track of usage.
