Shawn’s Cupboard

Shawn's Cupboard is a student-led food pantry open to all Eastern students named after alumna Shawn Dousis ’19. It is located in the Knight House on the main floor with an entrance in the back. The pantry is sponsored by the Foundation for Campus Ministry (FCM) and is intended to provide supplemental food assistance to students who may have challenges with having enough food to eat during the academic year.

The pantry runs mainly on donations from the community as well as partnerships with the local Stop & Shop and the CT FoodShare program, making it a sustainable resource for students. To send a monetary donation, checks can be made payable to the Foundation for Campus Ministry and sent by interoffice mail to Fr. Larry’s attention at Campus Ministry or mailed to Campus Ministry at 290 Prospect Street, Willimantic, CT 06226.
