Western New Mexico University has created “One Stop”, a free service established for the Mustang community to help students stock up on essential items from food and toiletries to cleaning supplies. Through partnerships with local businesses in Grant County and statewide collaborations with the Roadrunner Food Bank, the One Stop is able to source non-perishable food items as well as farm fresh fruits and vegetables to students living on and off campus. As the need for these items continues to increase, the One Stop will remain committed to addressing the needs of WNMU students.
