The Cupboard

Donations

No gift is too small. Monetary donations allow us to stock the shelves, especially with high-nutrient foods, specialty foods, or items missing from our current inventory. We may also use monetary donations to purchase equipment used for The Cupboard.  

 
If you have any questions or comments, please email the student Cupboard Operations Coordinator at CASEcoc@uwsp.edu.  

The student Cupboard Operations Coordinator is supervised by Michele Miller, so you may also contact her, especially during break periods; mmiller@uwsp.edu or 715-346-4991.
