Our Services
We provide trauma-informed meetings with students to assist with accessing resources to meet their basic needs. This can include food, clothing, toiletries, and menstrual products and assess individual situations to determine what resources and benefits are available. We also create educational events to reduce stigma and inform the campus community about accessing benefits.

SNAP Benefit Assistance
The COVID relief bill passed in December 2020 expanded SNAP eligibility for college students–allowing more students to qualify without meeting work requirements. Students can now qualify for SNAP if they:
- Are eligible for work-study (students do not need to have a work-study position or award)
- Have an Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) of $0 on FAFSA®
Visit the Food Pantry SNAP Assistance FAQ for more information: https://wou.edu/foodpantry/faq/#snap-assistance
Reach out to the Basic Needs Coordinator if you have questions regarding the process or need help applying by emailing abbyshouse@mail.wou.edu
Money for Meals
Money For Meals, previously known as the Voucher Program, is a service for WOU students experiencing high need or distress who cannot fully meet their needs at the Food Pantry. This program is for WOU students only, and you are able to use Money For Meals once per term while you are a student at WOU. Visit Abby’s House in the Werner University Center and ask for the Basic Needs Coordinator to access Money for Meals.
