University Housing is thrilled to announce the outcome of our Housing Against Hunger campaign: together, we funded 15,723 meals for the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia!

That’s 120% of our original goal of 13,000 meals—a powerful testament to the generosity and commitment of our on-campus community. 

Every meal represents hope and nourishment for individuals and families who need it most, including students right here at UGA. Through a combination of online contributions and physical food donations, our residents, staff, and supporters came together to make a meaningful difference for those facing food insecurity on campus and across northeast Georgia. 

The Food Bank of Northeast Georgia plays a vital role in addressing hunger by partnering with local organizations and providing resources to those in need. It serves the UGA Student Food Pantry and families in 15 counties, ensuring that essential meals reach those who need them most. By supporting this campaign, our housing community has helped strengthen that mission. 

To our residents, parents and families: your encouragement and support made this success possible. Whether you shared the campaign, donated, or inspired your student to get involved, you’ve created a ripple effect of kindness that extends far beyond campus. Thank you for being an essential part of our UGA family and for showing our students the value of giving back. 

Although Housing Against Hunger has officially wrapped up, the need for food assistance continues year-round. To learn more about the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia or explore ways to stay involved, visit foodbanknega.org. Students can find volunteer opportunities at involve.uga.edu. 

Together, we’ve proven that small actions create a big impact. Thank you for helping us fight hunger—one meal at a time.
