Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you for your interest in the Students Fighting for Food Security at Emory Momentum campaign. Even though this campaign has ended, you can still support Food Security at Emory by making a gift here, today!
Your contribution to the food security fund has already made a difference in so many students’ lives. More than 23 students have received direct assistance to pay for meals, with more than half requesting help to secure two meals per day. Thanks to your generosity, Emory is closer than ever to becoming a food secure campus.
We have already received so much thanks from your fellow students on what this fund has meant to them.
“Thank you for helping me worry less about food. Your generosity allows me to focus on my studies and on ways to serve my campus!” says a Dean's List junior who is active in community service.
“The pandemic has hit my family especially hard over the past year, and I hope, one day, to be able to give back to help others in my situation,” says another undergraduate student who requested anonymity. “I am truly thankful for your assistance.”
This first year graduate student is grateful for the Food Security Fund: “It has made a big difference for us in having enough food to last us through the end of each week.” Reflecting on the stigma of asking for help, she expresses gratitude both for your kindness and your open mind: “Your gift has made something one might feel embarrassed about into a true action of non-judgmental generosity from your hearts!”
On behalf of these students—and the dozens more who benefit from the Food Security Fund—please accept this heartfelt thank you for your love, support, and kindness.
Thank you so much for your contribution and support throughout this campaign! Despite the challenges you may be facing during this novel time in our generation, you chose to rise to the occasion and lend a helping hand. As students, young alumni, and members of our Emory communities, you went above and beyond to help your peers who are facing hardship. Your gift is an investment into making Emory a more equitable community now and in the future.
In total, we raised $1,916 for food security at Emory! As a result, those students who are experiencing food insecurity will have the support needed to secure nutritious meals over winter break and this upcoming semester.
We hope that you continue your spirit of generosity throughout your time at Emory because it truly makes a difference. Whether it is contributing to student resources, research, or student organizations, there are tons of areas of Emory that always need support.
We wish you a wonderful Winter break and a happy holiday season!
We give our thanks to all of you, who have given to this campaign. We are at a total of 37% of our donor goal with $1,694 raised and the numbers climb every day. Thanks to you, students who are food insecure now have access to funds to keep them fed. Emory students won’t experience another winter break without assistance as a result of your generosity!
As Thanksgiving approaches, we are pushing ahead with our campaign to meet 100% of our goal, but we need your help. Take this time to think of all the things you are thankful for this season and encourage your friends and family to give back to this campaign. Their contributions will go towards ensuring any student who experiences food insecurity at Emory will have support to get their next meals.
