Help Student Support Services help students in need
Dec. 6, 2021
The ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Wood Center Food Pantry, Academic Advising Center and Student Support Services are again teaming up to help support ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ students in need during the long holiday break.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not discriminated, and the number of students experiencing food insecurities has grown exponentially.
Here's where you come in.
The ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ organizers are requesting monetary donations of any amount to help purchase Fred Meyer grocery gift cards, which will help minimize interactions and the number of items passing through many hands. . The amount on each gift card will be based on the number of people in the recipient’s family.
Any extra donations will go toward the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Wood Center Food Pantry, which serves all ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ students in Fairbanks.
Last year, more than $3,000 in gift certificates helped more than 27 students and their families — many with small children. Please join the effort to help our students over the winter break!
