The Dining Dollars Donation program is back again for the end of the year! We are excited to partner with RHSA and HFS in making sure students’ remaining dollars on their meal plan goes toward hungry huskies!

Please participate in this new UW survey aimed to quantify food/housing insecurity

Original article here!

“Urban@UW is trying to learn more about the situations facing students. From now through March 16, a survey is available for students ages 18 or older at all three University of Washington campuses. The voluntary survey is confidential.”

This system helps us understand our visitors better by collecting and reporting on visits. With more information we hope to be able to provide a service better tailored to our visitors. Implementing this system requires our visitors and volunteers to submit personal data. The following privacy notices detail the collection, intended use, and retention of data via FoodBank Manager. We take our community’s privacy very seriously, and aim to be transparent about how we use it.
