This year, we are inviting you to participate in UFV\u2019s Giving Tuesday campaign in support of the UFV-Student Union Society Food Bank. In the spirit of generosity and giving, Giving Tuesday has become a global movement that empowers people to make a positive impact on their communities. On Nov 28, UFV is joining with faculty, staff, supporters, alumni, and friends to address a critical issue affecting many university students: food insecurity.<\/p>\n
It is no secret that students, their families, and members of the community are facing the challenges of food insecurity. The rising costs of living expenses have had a major impact on their livelihoods and the UFV-SUS Food Bank has seen an estimated 500 per cent surge in food hamper requests since the beginning of the academic year. Your generosity this Giving Tuesday will provide much-needed support to those facing this challenge, ensuring they can focus on their studies without the burden of hunger.<\/p>\n
Ways to Get Involved:<\/p>\n
