Free meals and food resources in Whitewater
Dear campus community,
Please know that there are free meals and food resources available within the community and at our Warhawk Pantry in Drumlin Hall as well. Please email foodpantry@uww.edu or call me directly at 262-472-1757 to make an appointment, Monday through Friday. There is also a Little Free Pantry open 24/7 and is located in the Warhawk Pantry vestibule next to the Drumlin Hall loading dock. Please take what you need if you are not able to make an appointment.
Additionally, UW-Whitewater Dining Services has partnered with the Whitewater Community Meal Resources to help serve our community members during this time of need. Many cases of items such as fresh produce, dairy, cheeses, deli meats, and healthful snacks have been and continue to be donated to both the First United Methodist Church and the Black Sheep in Whitewater. See below for additional information.
Stay safe!

The Community Space
The Community Space is a place where people share food, clothing, furniture, toys and household items for free. There is also a Little Free Pantry available 24/7 in the front vestibule. At this point, TCS is limiting the number of people in the building. And if people choose not to come into the building, they can drive around back and pick up a pre-packed box of food for their family. Community Space information: 834 E. Milwaukee Street, 262-379-0187 or roberskay@yahoo.com. Hours: Tuesday - 8:30 to 11 a.m.; Wednesday - 3:30 to 7 p.m.; Thursday - 8:30 to 11 a.m.; and Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
