As tuition and everyday living costs rise, students are sometimes forced to choose between investing in their education and meeting their most basic needs. Recent survey data show that students experiencing food insecurity are more likely to miss class, struggle with health concerns, and earn lower GPAs than their peers (UW–Madison Basic Needs Survey).
The Campus Food Access Fund helps ensure students have access to nutritious food so they can focus on learning, building community, and achieving their goals. Your gift supports food security initiatives on campus, including BadgerFARE and the Open Seat Food Pantry.
This Giving Tuesday, help us raise $10,000 to keep shelves stocked and students nourished.
Your gift—no matter the size—makes an immediate and meaningful difference.
- $25 provides milk and eggs to 15 students for a week
- $50 restocks canned soup at the pantry for one day of distribution
- $75 provides one student with a meal stipend to access campus food options
- $100 provides rice to 160 families at Eagle Heights Distribution
- $250 helps feed 30 students for one month
Thank you for helping ensure students have access to nutritious food and everyday essentials that support their health and well-being. Your generosity helps create a campus where every Badger has the resources they need to have the fullest Wisconsin Experience.
