No student should have to choose between buying groceries and paying tuition. Yet for too many University of Michigan students, food insecurity is a daily reality. The Maize & Blue Cupboard exists to change that by providing free groceries, kitchen supplies, and support to students who need it most.
This Hunger Action Month, you can join us in the fight against student hunger by making a lasting impact. Your gift ensures the pantry shelves stay stocked. Consider a monthly recurring gift and you will help feed the U-M community not just today, but every month of the year — and right now, your support goes even further.
Your monthly gift will be matched
Anyone who makes a monthly recurring gift to this campaign will have the first $100 of their gift matched each month for up to 12 months. That means:
-
A $10 monthly gift becomes $20 each month.
-
A $50 monthly gift provides $100 of support each month.
-
A $100 monthly gift doubles to $200 of impact, month after month.
This special match opportunity multiplies your generosity and helps provide thousands of meals and essential items to students across campus.
Why it matters
-
1 in 3 college students nationally experience food insecurity.
-
Students who struggle with hunger are more likely to miss classes, face health challenges, and have lower graduation rates.
10% of our students - roughly 5,000 - are going without food for a day because they can’t afford it.
-
The Maize & Blue Cupboard sees over 26,000 shopping visits a year — and demand continues to grow.
When you make a recurring gift, you’re not just giving food for today — you’re investing in student success, health, and well-being for the long term.
Together, we can create a campus where every Wolverine has the nourishment they need to thrive.
Take action this Hunger Action Month. Start your recurring gift today, and watch your impact double all year long.
