Gifts to Student Support Funds: Relief Today, Resilience Tomorrow contribute to...
Every day, students at USM face unexpected crises that jeopardize their ability to continue their education. These crises can range from sudden medical expenses to family emergencies, and more. We believe that education should be a path to opportunity, not a roadblock to success, and this is where you can make a difference.
Our campaign encourages a shift from gratitude to generosity. This GivingTuesday, we're inviting you to give back.
We encourage you to make a donation to the Student Emergency Fund, the Oakhurst Campus Food Pantry, and/or the Recovery Oriented Campus Center (ROCC). With your support for these funds, we can be the lifeline that these students need, and ensure they stay on the path toward their dreams and aspirations.
Two food pantries at the University of Southern Maine are launching “Snap into Action,” a campus-wide food drive competition throughout November to address growing food insecurity, at a time when federal SNAP benefits are uncertain, and likely delayed, amid the ongoing government shutdown.
Organized by Sarah Farrugia, the Oakhurst Campus Food Pantry & Food Security Coordinator, and Gina Capra, the Director of USM’s Adult Student Success Center and coordinator of their pantry, the drive invites students, faculty, and staff to form teams, collect food and household items, and compete to see who can contribute the most toward stocking pantry shelves.
