Bulldog Food Pantry | SWOSU

Jun 29, 2025

Food insecurity has proven to be a quiet and lesser-known issue, yet an increasingly common trend on college campuses across the country. With the opening of the Bulldog Food and Resource Center, the SWOSU community wants to make the message come across loud and clear to those in need: help is here.

Thanks to their efforts and the collaboration of multiple departments across campus, SWOSU joins hundreds of college campuses working to provide meal solutions for students on campus in need.

“We are here to help with any food insecurities students may face. We hope to always offer access to all students to enough food for an active, healthy life,“ Susan Ellis the Bulldog Food and Resource Center Director said. “Students should not have to decide between buying a book or buying food for the weekend. That is the purpose of this pantry.”

The Bulldog Food and Resource Center is open Monday 8:00-12:00 pm, Wednesday 1:00-4:00 pm, and Friday 8:00-12:00 pm.

The Bulldog Food Pantry is open to ALL SWOSU students! This service has no requirements other than bringing your Student ID and leaving with food. Our goal is for all students to have enough food throughout the semester.

“I want every person on this campus to hear that we are here for you,” Robert Nikkel, Coordinator said. “Your community has your back. We are here to support you.”
