Soon after the Cougars clinched the Boeing Apple Cup, WSU achieved another victory thanks to the generosity of Cougs everywhere. The results of the first-ever WSU & UW Food Pantry Challenge are in. The WSU Pullman Cougar Food Pantry received 76 gifts, totaling $17,175. The University of Washington (UW) 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 on the WSU Foundation website.
“This incredible effort highlights the power of community and collaboration in the fight against hunger,” said Kim Holapa, associate vice chancellor for strategy and advancement, and chief of staff for Student Affairs. “The generosity of the Cougar community not only showcases the spirit of competition but also the compassion and solidarity we have in supporting students.”
