Give to the Basic Needs Insecurity Fund on Birds Give Back for our Redbirds!
Managing college academics can be stressful. But imagine dealing with classes, exams, and life's curveballs without the basics—like food, housing, transportation, textbooks, childcare or care items.
Life happens, and sometimes it hits students hard. Losing a
job, emergencies at home, or the loss of a family member—students face it all.
When these challenges hit, essentials like food, housing, and tech can become a
real challenge.
Will you help us care for our Redbirds?
Today on Birds Give Back, our goal is to raise $5,000 to ensure that students can focus on their academic goals without the constant worry of where their next meal will come from or how other basic needs are met.
Your generosity today will provide:
- Wages for Student Navigators who are trained to assist students in identifying needs, providing immediate help, and creating a plan for long-term support
- Textbooks for students who have exhausted all other resources and need them for academic success
- Food resources for students remaining in off-campus apartments during breaks
- Programs that increase student access to food, including mini food pantries throughout campus
Forty percent of college students don't have enough food.
Can you believe nearly 40% of college students nationwide,
including our own Redbirds, deal with food insecurity? It's a more significant
issue than we might realize, especially for those off-campus.
Join us in making a tangible impact on Redbird lives. No student should be burdened with stress about their next meal or basic needs.
Thank you for your support.
