The FAQs:

 

Where are you located?

LB2-006, right next to Campus Safety on Campus Way

 

When will you be open?

Tuesday: 1:00PM – 4:00PM & 5:00PM – 7:00PM  * Closed from 4:00PM – 5:00PM
Wednesday: 10:00AM – 4:00PM
Thursday: 10:00AM – 4:00PM

 

Who will you serve?

At this time we are only able to serve currently enrolled Cascadia students. Please refer UWB students and non-current Cascadia students to other community resources.

 

What do Cascadia students need to do to use The Kodiak Cave?

On their first visit each quarter, students will need to show proof they are a currently enrolled student. That can be done by showing picture ID and a screenshot of their current class schedule or by bringing in a print out of their classes with them to the Cave.

Students will have one visit per month and select snack items will be available more regularly.

 

Why aren't you calling it a food pantry?

We are going to be more than just food! We will provide educational information about nutrition, as well as budget friendly shopping and easy, healthy recipes. We hope to provide something for every Cascadia student. More information on these programs in Winter Quarter.

 

What if I want to make a donation?

  • Right now our most pressing need is paper bags! We would like something to give to students who use the space to carry their food in. If you have paper bags to donate, please drop them off at the Kodiak Cave during business hours or contact Danielle Gohr, Kodiak Cave Intern, to arrange pick up/drop off at other times.
  • If you would like to make a tax deductible, financial donation, we are working with the Foundation and will share a link when it is available.
  • We have created an Amazon Wish List of specific items we are looking for!  Feel free to shop it here: http://a.co/bJv6SOw
  • We will begin accepting in person food donations in Winter Quarter – more information to come!​
