Small Donations, Big Impact
Thanks to the generosity of the UW Tacoma and broader community, we were been able to serve hundreds of students during Spring Quarter.
The impact of your generosity during Spring Quarter was incredible – hundreds of UW Tacoma students received vital food assistance. But the need continues. Your donation, no matter the size, empowers students to focus on their education and reach their full potential. By addressing food insecurity, you're helping break down barriers and build a community where everyone can thrive. Your continued support shapes a future where no UW Tacoma student goes hungry.
