Pullman is home to, arguably, some of the deepest roots of college community, flowing with wheat fields, Cougar Gold cheese, Ferdinand’s ice cream and Coug pride.
But among us, living on College Hill and in our dorms, are students who are experiencing the realities of food scarcity.
In 2018, Whitman County was found to be the most food-insecure county in Washington with 13.4 percent of its citizens experiencing hunger, including students, according to Feeding America’s research. Although a large jump has been made to close that gap between the food-insecure and food-secure, COVID-19 has not helped those who work high-risk jobs to pay their bills.
ASWSU unanimously approved to place a $5 student fee initiative on the ASWSU ballot, which would support the WSU food bank in creating a sustainable solution for student food insecurity, during a meeting Wednesday.
Currently, volunteers operate the food pantry. Donations come from community members and businesses like the Community Action Center and Moscow Food Co-op. Volunteer efforts are not a good long-term plan to address the issue, said ASWSU Senator Oluwanifemi “Nife” Shola-Dare and referendum co-author.
“We should all be surprised, and also disappointed, that there is nowhere in WSU’s budget that is allocated for the food pantry on campus,” Shola-Dare said.
