Join Louie and donate during the food drive for Replenish through December 4.

In the build-up to Giving Tuesday on December 2, join a campus-wide effort to stock the shelves at the Replenish Basic Needs Center by donating non-perishable food and personal care items.

Through December 4, drop off donations at one of 20+ boxes across the Valley and City campuses. High-need items include canned goods, rice, toiletries and baby products. View details and a full list here.

Replenish serves over 2,500 Lakers each year, providing essential items and emergency support that help students stay focused on their studies and well-being.

Want to make an even bigger impact? Give directly to the Replenish Student Food Resource Fund. Gifts address the immediate needs of students and promote food security at GVSU.

Learn more about supporting Replenish’s work this Giving Tuesday.
