Fighting Food Insecurity at WSU
Photos and Writing by John Carthum
With the final project theme of “look for the helpers” in mind, I set out to create a visual story that represents some of the great work being done by WSU this time of year. Food insecurity is always a relevant issue during the holiday season, so I was thrilled to discover the WSU Office for Access and Opportunity has its own food pantry. The food pantry is a resource for WSU students in need of food and hygiene products. I believe I was able to capture a variety of pictures that accurately showcase the services the Office of Access and Opportunity provides. I hope this project sheds some light on the thoughtful work being done by WSU to provide an optimal learning experience and quality of life for students.
