The Mission of WSPH Food for Thought Pantry:
Every day, thousands of people and families across the country have food insecurity. It's possible that some students at WSPH may be experiencing temporary insecurity and require ongoing assistance. We've implemented the pantry to assist our WSPH students who require a little additional supplemental support so they can better concentrate on their studies and not choose between food and other necessities.
The student pantry only provides supplemental support, which means that we don't provide all of the food and supplies needed in an everyday lifestyle.
Shop the Pantry
The student pantry is open to students enrolled in at least one course offered at WSPH. There are no financial restrictions for participation. The student pantry is a resource available for a little extra support allowing students to concentrate on the things that matter most at Tulane WSPH. Students can regularly use the pantry to make ends meet during their time here. We hope you'll utilize the pantry if you need some extra support stretching your grocery budget.
The WSPH Food for Thought Pantry is located on the 1st floor of Tidewater within the student lounge. We are open weekly, during University and building hours. You will need your Tulane Splash Card to enter the student lounge.
