History of the Locker

The Kiah Duggins Shocker Support Locker was founded by the 58th session of the Student Government Association on November 4, 2015, to address a study that showed that 56% of Wichita State University students knew of at least one to three other students who faced food insecurity and 50% of students (67% of international students) admitted to skipping a meal because they could not afford to eat.

The Shocker Support Locker opened its doors on February 1, 2016 to all Wichita State University students, faculty and staff. The Shocker Support Locker gives students, faculty and staff access to food, clothing, toiletries, and baby/family products.

In 2025, the support locker was renamed to honor the legacy of Kiah Duggins, Class of 2017, who died in a 2025 plane crash in Washington D.C.

OUR MISSION

The Kiah Duggins Shocker Support Locker, through the ongoing generosity of the Wichita State community and community partners, seeks to empower Shockers along their journey at Wichita State University with temporary supplemental assistance. The Locker aims to alleviate food insecurity on campus and contribute to the overall health and wellbeing of our students, faculty, and staff by providing a variety of nutritional and functional resources to Shockers at no cost.
