Oregon State University fights hunger among students

11/22/2019

0 Comments

 
Confronted with the national reality that two in five college students are skipping meals to keep the lights on, the Oregon State community is saying enough is enough.
This giving season, Beavers all over the world are coming together to address student hunger at OSU. Your gift to Beavers Fight Hunger will directly fund resources at OSU's Human Services Resource Center (HSRC), such as the food pantry and other programs that help reduce food insecurity among our students. And by giving today, you can take advantage of a generous match to increase your impact. 
Just $8 is enough to buy a student a meal with their study group in the dining hall, and $20 provides a student with enough groceries from the food pantry for an entire month.

Let's refuse to let OSU students go hungry: https://beavsgive.org/?cfpage=project&project_id=30777
