Replenish: Meeting Basic Needs, Advancing Justice
At the heart of CWGE’s equity work is the Replenish Basic Needs program, which combats hunger and food insecurity—issues that disproportionately impact students of color, low-income students, and those with diverse gender identities.
More than a food pantry, Replenish also offers cooking demos, resource navigation, and access to campus and community services—creating a holistic support system for students’ well-being and academic success.
