Our Crowdfunding Groups
Food insecurity is an issue facing college students nationwide. At UB, approximately 20-25% of students report experiencing lack of access to reliable, healthy food at some time.
With that in mind, UB launched an innovative food pantry program -- Blue Table -- which allows students to submit online request forms for food they need, and pick it up at a convenient location on campus.
Through crowdfunding, we are raising money to purchase food for this program, to ensure every student has food available to them, when they need it most.

Did you know that your gift of $10 can cover the cost of groceries for one healthy meal?
Help a UB student by providing one bag of groceries, to cover a week's worth of dinners.
At this level, you can truly make a difference by ensuring that we stock our shelves with healthy and diverse food options.
Financial contributions at this level will support Blue Table, as we continue to help the diverse food and dietary needs of our student body.
