Healthy & Filling Food Options
Quick and Easy Meals & Snacks
School Supplies & Personal Hygiene Products
More than a third of university students across the U.S. face food insecurity. At UW-Stout, we're committed to ensuring Blue Devils never go hungry.

On April 2, 2018, Helping Hand food plus pantry opened at UW-Stout for all students. Helping Hand provides access to food and other life essentials for students facing any level of food insecurity.
Helping Hand Food+ Pantry is staffed by student volunteers and a Student Pantry Manager (funded by SSA).
