About

Your Support Matters!

More than 1,000 Grand Valley students don't have access to enough nutritious, affordable food. This can impact them in the classroom and derail their dream of earning a degree entirely.

This Giving Tuesday, GVSU is rallying around those who need support. Your gift to the Replenish Student Food Resource Fund, no matter the size, helps stock the shelves of the Replenish Basic Needs Center so no Laker will have to wonder about their next meal. 

Join us and make your gift today to the Replenish Student Food Resource Fund or to the fund that means the most to you at GVSU.

Challenges Completed!


Thanks to outstanding support from the Laker community on Giving Tuesday, we passed $50,000 in gifts and completed several challenges and matches. President Mantella's $1,000 challenge, Laura and Jonathon Aiken's $1,000 matching gift, and Jenny and Scott Hall-Jones $1,000 challenge were all completed yesterday! These matches and challenges further the impact of each dollar donated, and we are grateful for all of the support.

New Challenge Available!


Giving Tuesday is here! Lily, the First Dog of GVSU, is doing her part to create food security on campus by making her donation to  Replenish. Her mom, President Mantella, is doing the same with a $1,000 challenge gift to Replenish, which will be unlocked once we get 100 donors to ANY fund on Giving Tuesday. Join in on the fun!
