All donations to the AS Food Bank will go towards food purchases for distribution to students in need.
A $10 donation can feed a student for a week and a $120 donation can feed a student for the quarter.
Your contribution will provide a student with:
1) Nutritious food
2) A moment to relax and relieve stress
3) Time to focus on school
4) An opportunity to reflect and plan
Since our service began in April 2011, the AS Food Bank has serviced 3,500 students with 47,000 visits. Last year, 2021-2022, we were able to distribute about 180,000 pounds of food to the students, and hope to increase that number in the following year with your help.
