Food Resources
Many local organizations provide valuable support for those facing food insecurity, including WesternU. Our “Care Cabinets” are available at both our Pomona and Lebanon campuses to help. Additionally, we’ve curated a list of resources to assist you or someone you know in finding support. Please note that these organizations operate independently and are not affiliated with WesternU.
