💜 It's football season ! Help Us Win the Boeing Apple Cup Food Pantry Challenge and Support Students Facing Food Insecurity.

To donate, check out the link in our LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/UWFamily

More than half of Washington college students report experiencing some form of basic needs insecurity, including difficulty accessing food, personal care items, and other essentials. For many students, these challenges can affect their health, well-being, and academic success.

The UW Food Pantry helps meet this need by providing free access to nutritious food and basic necessities for students, staff, and faculty.

Since Fall 2024, the pantry has supported more than 50,000 visits and currently serves an average of 700 visitors each week.

Now, through the Boeing Apple Cup Food Pantry Challenge, we're harnessing the passion, momentum, and friendly rivalry of the historic Boeing Apple Cup to make a meaningful impact. NOW through September 6th, UW and WSU communities are competing to see which university can generate the greatest number of gifts in support of their campus food pantries. Every gift counts equally, regardless of size, making participation, school pride, and collective action the keys to victory. Together, we have the opportunity to score a win not only on the football field, but for students facing food insecurity across Washington!

As members of the Husky family, parents play an important role in helping students thrive. A gift today helps provide food, hygiene products, and critical support resources for students facing financial hardship while also helping UW claim the Apple Cup Food Pantry Challenge title.
💜 Join fellow Husky families and make your gift today. Together, we can show the power of our community and help ensure that No Husky Goes Hungry.

Hi, Parents! Is your Husky an incoming 2nd year or up looking for a leadership position or way to add to the UW community? The New Student and Transfer Programs are currently searching for eligible mentors for the upcoming school year. After completing a short survey, students will be paired with an incoming Husky based on common interests, backgrounds, academics, and professional aspirations! This opportunity is a great way to practice leadership and mentorship! If your husky is interested, direct them to the NSTP Husky Peer Mentor Page to get matched with a new Husky the first week of classes!
Link is in our Linktree!
