We are excited to partner with the UGA Food Pantry to support students in our campus community. Donations can be made throughout each Orientation session on the fifth floor of the Tate Student Center. Our goal is to help provide nutritious food items that can be used to create healthy, balanced meals for students in need. Every donation, big or small, makes a meaningful difference and helps ensure that members of the UGA community have access to essential resources. We encourage students, families, and guests to join us in giving back and supporting this important initiative during their time on campus!
