Donate a Flex Pass at Give-A-Meal on Mar 27

Our Give-A-Meal event will take place at dinner at all eight dining halls on Wednesday, March 27th.

Students with a residential meal plan can donate one flex pass when they swipe in for dinner. All proceeds will go towards the Students First Fund through the Dean of Students Office. The Students First Fund assists students during a time of need (i.e. books; clothing; food).

If you don’t have a residential meal plan but want to help your fellow Huskies this semester, check out how you can support the Husky Harvest food pantry at https://bit.ly/46MFzwu
