FEED A MAVERICK IN NEED
This Thanksgiving season, make a donation to provide a bag of food for a Maverick struggling with hunger. Food insecurity is becoming more evident on college campuses, and UNO is no exception. UNO’s Maverick Food Pantry contributes to UNO’s culture of caring by providing resources to those in immediate need and connecting them with additional resources in the greater Omaha area for long-term support. One food package costs $15 – please make your gift today.
