Your gift to Beavers Fight Hunger helps our Basic Needs Center (BNC) student leaders support their peers in creating strategies for meeting their basic needs while in college and long-term, plus provides the immediate assistance they need through the BNC food pantry on the Corvallis campus and the Associated Students of Cascades Food Pantry at OSU-Cascades.

Would you join your fellow Beavers today with a monthly gift that will continue to meet student needs all year long? Looking out for each other keeps our community strong, and that is what Beavers Fight Hunger is all about.

We are grateful to share that the Leback family has once again supported the BNC this year by creating two challenge gifts totaling $50,000 for Beavers Fight Hunger.

Gifts of any size can help unlock their generous challenges, and monthly gifts provide important regular support:

  • $12 ($1 per month) provides one Healthy Beaver Bag recipe kit that teaches cooking skills and provides nutritious staples for the week.
  • $24 ($2 per month) provides a bag of fresh produce for six students shopping at the BNC pantry.
  • $240 ($20 per month) buys 310 cans of beans, canned tomatoes or corn to supplement the BNC’s food bank provisions.
  • $600 ($50 per month) provides a packaged quality protein source like tofu or ground turkey to 240 students.
  • $1,200 ($100 per month) stocks produce for one week.

“Leadership, problem solving and community building often mean stepping up and doing what needs to be done. I'm proud our student leaders are learning how to do just that.” — Nicole Hindes, director of the Basic Needs Center

The work being done at the BNC is more important than ever. Join us to make a genuine difference for OSU students.
