Donations will directly benefit the food pantry at UTSA. These funds will be used to:
Stock Pantry Shelves: Purchase non-perishable food items, fresh produce, and other essential groceries to ensure a steady supply for students in need.
Provide Hygiene Products: Supply personal care items such as toiletries, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies, which are often requested by pantry users.
Support Student Wellbeing: The pantry focuses on nutrition and healthy eating habits to help students make the most of the resources available to them.
By contributing to the Huddle Against Hunger challenge, you are ensuring that students at UTSA have the resources they need to thrive academically and personally. Your generosity directly impacts their well-being and helps create a supportive community where every student can succeed.
Why are donations necessary?
Food insecurity – the lack of access to
affordable, nutritious food – is common at universities across the country,
potentially limiting the educational success of thousands of students. In a study of 1,800 college students, 48 percent of respondents
reported food insecurity in the previous 30 days. Of those in the study who are
first-generation college students, 56 percent reported they were food insecure.
September is Hunger Action
Month. Working together, we’ll raise funds at each school to fill our pantry
shelves as the new academic year starts. Winning school will receive a grant for their
pantry.
