With the rising cost of tuition and everyday living expenses, students are sometimes forced to make tough decisions between investing in their education and meeting their most basic needs. The Campus Food Access Fund provides support for student food security initiatives on campus, including the student-run Open Seat Food Pantry. 

Your gift — no matter the size — makes an immediate and meaningful difference.

  • $25 provides milk and eggs to 15 students for a week 
  • $50 restocks canned soup at the pantry for one day of distribution
  • $75 provides one student with a meal stipend to access campus food options
  • $100 provides rice to 160 families at Eagle Heights Distribution
  • $250 helps to feed 30 students for one month

Thank you for helping students access healthy, fresh, and varied food. Your generosity ensures no Badger goes hungry and every Badger can live their fullest Wisconsin Experience.

The Campus Food Access Fund is an initiative of Student Affairs at UW–Madison.

Gifts will be contributed to the Campus Food Access Fund – 112900459 at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
