Food Pantry Services

The food pantry and Benefits Navigator started in September 2022 with one small pantry that supports about 50 students per month. In 2023, the Benefits Navigator expanded its food pantry to 2 other satellite pantries on campus and also expanded its food resources. Now in the graph to the left, the food pantry is able to support up to 250+ students per month.

Emergency Vouchers

Our voucher programs are helpful when students need extra help to purchase things they need for their education, household, and well-being. These help eliminate the burden and stress and enable students to focus on their education.

Student Success Partnerships

Partners like the Oregon Center for Independent Living (EOCIL) donates personal hygiene kits for students. During emergencies, these kits have served a great resource and students can access them on-campus at our food pantry locations.

Online Resource Fairs

These events are designed to showcase essential on and off-campus resources for our students, especially online students, ensuring everyone has the tools they need to succeed at EOU.
