College life is an incredible journey filled with endless possibilities, but for some, it comes with its own challenges. Many students face the daunting reality of not having enough food to sustain themselves adequately. Food insecurity is a struggle that is not often talked about, but it affects more students on the UW–Madison campus than you may think.
With the rising costs of everything from tuition to everyday living expenses, students are having to make some difficult choices. Some students are facing a constant struggle between investing in their education and meeting their most basic needs. All Badgers deserve to thrive during their college years without the added stress of food insecurity.
Your gift to the Campus Food Access Fund will support student food insecurity initiatives on campus, including The Open Seat food pantry and the Badger FARE program, which provides $75 of immediate funds to a student’s Wiscard to purchase food on campus. Through your support, you can help students have access to healthy, fresh, and varied food resources and work to ensure that no Badger goes hungry.
Thank you for your generous support. Your contribution will make an immediate and lasting impact on our students!
Gifts made in support of The Open Seat food pantry and the Badger FARE program will be contributed to Campus Food Access Fund at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
