Ensure No Duck Goes Hungry

Every Duck deserves the opportunity to succeed—and that starts with having enough to eat. No student should have to choose between paying bills and putting a healthy meal on the table.

Each month, hundreds of students experiencing food insecurity turn to the Student Food Pantry for nutritious food and essential items. For students balancing the costs of college and everyday life, that support can help them stay healthy, focused, and on track toward their goals.

Now, the Student Food Pantry is expanding into a new on-campus space operated by UO staff, with the capacity to serve an anticipated 2,000 students each month. Bringing the pantry onto campus will make nutritious food more accessible while removing barriers that can make it harder for students to get the support they need.

We need your help to stock this expanded space and put essential resources within reach for more students:

• $25 can buy three bottles of herbs and spices to provide variety and flavor in students’ meals
• $50 can buy 20 one-pound bags of pantry staples like dry beans, lentils, or pasta
• $50 can buy an emergency grocery store gift card
• $100 can buy five cases of canned foods, helping students add nutritious options to their weekly meals
• $250 can provide a month of specialty food items for those with dietary restrictions
• $500 can provide a month of student staff wages, helping the pantry stay open longer and serve more students
• $1,000 can provide supplemental groceries for 150 students for one month

Your support helps ensure students have access to the resources they need to stay healthy, remain enrolled, and continue pursuing their goals. Give now and help UO students flourish.
