Give A Flex Pass on Oct 25 to Support Students First Fund

Posted on by

Dining Services will be hosting our bi-annual Give-A-Meal on Wednesday, October 25th. All eight residential dining halls will be participating from 4-7:15pm. Over the years this program has supported various on- and off-campus organizations.

Students with a residential meal plan can donate one flex pass when they come to dinner on the 25th to help out their fellow huskies. All proceeds from the donated flex passes will go to support the Students First Fund, through the Dean of Students Office, which assists students during a time of need (i.e. books; clothing; food). More details about the Students First Fund can be found at https://dos.uconn.edu/.

If you don’t have a residential meal plan but want to help your fellow Huskies this semester, check out our donation drives in October and November to keep the shelves stocked at Husky Harvest food pantry.
