1 in 4 students reported experiencing food insecurity, according to a 2020 Civic Engagement survey of all students at the Â鶹ӳ»­. Food insecurity in college is associated with many unfavorable outcomes including poor health, difficulty concentrating and even an increased dropout rate. Supporting our students to help meet their basic needs is pertinent in their success, ensuring they remain focused on finishing their degree without the worry of where their next meal is coming from. Your support to Pack Provisions will make all the difference for students facing food insecurity and help keep them on track to graduate.

According to the Food Bank of Northern Â鶹ӳ»­, a $50 donation can fund 150 meals. This year-end, and on #GivingTuesday, please consider making a donation to Pack Provisions to help keep students healthy, fed and successful. Greater Â鶹ӳ»­ Credit Union is matching all gifts made today on #GivingTuesday, up to $5,000.
