About the Paws Parenting Student Pantry
When families are able to meet basic needs such as food, housing, and medical care, parents and other caregivers experience less stress, which allows them to provide the critical support that children need to grow into healthy, productive adults. The Parenting Student Resource values the growth of both our students and the children of our students and aims to support our students by offering basic needs items for UW Bothell students who are parents.
The Parenting Student Pantry may be accessed by any UW Bothell student who is in need. During open hours, students can pick up diapers, formula, bottles, pacifiers, clothing, books, toys, blankets, and more. You may visit UW-1, room 186 (inside the student success center) Monday - Wednesday 10am-4pm to pick up items. You may drop by or schedule a time to come by and browse or pick up items. To request access outside of those hours or to request an item urgently, please contact Christina at uwparentingstudents@uw.edu or call 425.352.3613.
If you would like to request a specific item(s), please fill out the donation request form.
