Few days remaining for the Apple Cup Food Pantry Challenge

If you haven’t already donated, there are only a few days remaining in the 2025 WSU/UW Apple Cup Food Pantry Challenge. Donations must be received by midnight on Saturday, Sept. 20, to count towards WSU’s total for the competition.

WSU came out on top last year by a wide margin raising $17,000 of the $20,000 total. The competition is expected to be a lot fiercer this time around.

With two out of five college students (more than 40%!) facing food insecurity across the nation, food pantries are having a difficult time keeping up with the demand. It is no different at WSU. During 2024–25, WSU’s pantries collectively facilitated over 58,000 student visits. The Pullman campus alone distributed an average of 25,000 pounds of food per month.

This year, all six WSU campuses will receive a share of what WSU raises to support their food pantries and food security programs. So, WSU fans across the system, here’s your chance to support students on your campus, show your Cougar spirit, and let the Huskies know the generosity of Cougars knows no bounds.
