The Cubby

Whether you're a new student or staff member seeking support for the semester ahead or a returning member of our community in need of assistance, our Initial Semester Request Form and Returning User Form are here for you.

If you're looking for a way to give back to those in need, our online giving platform provides a convenient avenue for you to contribute.

The Cubby was designed to meet the immediate needs of its students on campus by providing a variety of non-perishable food items and other basic necessities to students and their families. The Food Pantry is located in the MAC Room 178 and will be open for limited hours throughout the semester.

Questions? Contact us at (928) 344-7517 or thecubby@azwestern.edu.

Students must be enrolled in at least 1 AWC credit to apply for assistance from The Cubby. The Cubby is also available to AWC employees. The fillable online forms (Initial Semester Request Form or Returning User Form) will help our staff understand our population better and make sure that we are providing assistance to all. 

Food can only be picked up by the person who completed the application.  Students will have the option to pick from the food, clothing, or toiletry inventory.  Additionally, students will have the option to pick up a “hot meal” food card when available.  This option will be in the form of a card that can be used once for the week in The Eatery.

**Items received from The Cubby have been donated or purchased from several on-campus and off-campus partners. None of the parties or groups involved in the program make any guarantees as to the quality of the food or its value for any particular purposes. Some of the food distributed at The Cubby surpassed its “best by” consumption date. The USDA states that the “best if used by or before” date is recommended for best flavor or quality. It is not a purchase or safety date.

Arizona Western College and the original donor does not assume any liability or harm (including injury or death) or losses in connection with the food or supplies received. I assume any risks and covenant not to sue the released parties with respect to such harm or losses.

The Cubby operates on limited funds and by the support of others and is a volunteer program run by donations. We cannot guarantee that we will have food available, but we can suggest additional locations/resources.

The Cubby provides students with FREE professional clothing. The program was designed for students to access clothing items that encourage confidence when pursuing professional opportunities, like job interviews, networking events, and conferences. Students will find items such as slacks, blouses, jackets, belts, shoes, and more at any of the program's district-wide locations. 

This project was designed to enhance the AWC student experience by reinforcing a connected community in which students feel they belong and empower students with self-confidence by eliminating financial barriers to opportunities.
