We’re Halfway There — Your Gift Keeps Food Access Strong

November 18, 2025

Because of your generosity and shared commitment to student well-being, we’ve raised over 50% of our $15,000 fundraising goal for the UC Irvine Basic Needs Center Food Pantry! Your support is helping us sustain and expand access to nutritious food for students across campus.

Earlier this month, the temporary disruption to CalFresh (SNAP) benefits was a stark reminder of how quickly circumstances can shift, and how essential it is to have a strong, reliable support network for students when they do. Thanks to your gift, we’re better equipped to provide emergency food resources and maintain stable access to essentials even when unexpected challenges arise.

As we enter the holiday season, your continued support is more important than ever. Campus closures during winter break mean on-campus support services such as ours will be unavailable to students. Every dollar you give helps us stock our pantry with nutritious food options and provide relief for students before the holidays begin.

Thank you for being part of this community — your impact is felt every day.

Warm regards,
Andrea Mora
Director, UC Irvine Basic Needs Center
