Week of Caring 2020: Roadrunner Food Pantry

Since the Roadrunner Food Pantry closed its doors in March, the Student Care Center has met the needs of over 500 students by providing them with electronic gift cards to supplement their trips to the grocery store. In order to continue meeting the overwhelming demand for food assistance, we need your support. Your gift to the Roadrunner Food Pantry directly impacts a student and ensures no Roadrunner goes hungry. 

Roadrunners care for Roadrunners. It's what we do. Join your Roadrunner family during MSU Denver Week of Caring to show your support for students needing food assistance. 

During this week-long celebration, we will be hosting a virtual food drive for the Roadrunner Food Pantry. You can get involved by: 

• Making a gift to the Roadrunner Food Pantry. If you are an MSU Denver faculty/staff member, we are having a competition to see which division can raise the most money for students in need! Make sure to select your division on the giving page and check out the leader board to keep track of division standings. 
• Start a recurring gift. Support a Roadrunner with a recurring gift of at least $5 per month, and you will receive an MSU Denver gaiter for your generosity! 
• Volunteering at the Food Bank of the Rockies. Give back to campus and the community by signing up to volunteer at Food Bank of the Rockies. The Roadrunner Food Pantry receives credits towards food for your time spent volunteering. 
• Sharing how you care. Share this page on social media and encourage others to support the Roadrunner Food Pantry by making a gift or volunteering! 

On average, a gift of $25 can cover a week's worth of groceries and toiletries for one student. When you make a gift to the Roadrunner Food Pantry, your support will provide grocery store gift cards to our students in need while the food pantry doors remain closed. Without access to nutritious meals, it’s difficult for students to succeed. Any gift, any amount, will impact student lives.
