Thank you for your support on Giving Tuesday!
From economic shifts and job loss to changes in family situations, lots of factors can impact a student’s ability to achieve food security. The Replenish Basic Needs Center is Grand Valley’s way of supporting the hundreds of students in need each month.
Your gift to the Replenish Student Food Resource Fund, no matter the size, helps stock the shelves of the center so no Laker will have to wonder about their next meal. Your support will have a ripple effect that benefits students' physical and mental well-being and promotes their academic success.
Thank you for making your gift to GVSU!

More than 30% of college students experience food insecurity. Replenish, GVSU's Basic Needs Center, exists to help bridge this gap by providing essential groceries and household items to more than 2,000 students each year.
- Economic shifts like inflation, changes to family situations and employment challenges are the major contributors to Lakers facing barriers to food security.
- Achieving food security is interconnected with poverty, unemployment/underemployment, and inconsistent access to healthy food, making it a difficult issue to solve nationwide.
- The Replenish Basic Needs Center serves a diverse group of campus community members, including parents, foster care students, veterans, and athletes.
By supporting Replenish, you can make a meaningful difference for Lakers who need it most, allowing them to focus on their studies and thrive at Grand Valley.
