No student should have to study on an empty stomach.
The adverse effects of food insecurity on student mental and physical health can be seen on college campuses across the country. UMB is helping to address student food insecurity through its student pantry and pop-up pantry meal kits.
Since opening in fall 2021, the UMB Student Pantry has:
- held 20 pop-up events across campus distributing almost 1,000 meal kit bags.
- fulfilled pantry food request forms for over 1,020 students.
Join fellow UMB faculty and staff in participating in this 30-day challenge (April 18-May 17) ahead of spring finals to reach our goal of 300 additional meal kits (total cost: $3,000).
Each kit costs just $10 to create and provides four servings of food per recipient.
