A Truman education is life-changing. It’s changed the lives of more than 67,000 alumni, and it’s changing the lives of students on campus today. Giving Tuesday is about being the hope we want to see in the world and about celebrating and supporting causes that make that hope a reality. You can be a part of that life-changing experience by giving to Truman State University. On this special day of giving, you can support any area of campus that is special to you. Your donation directly supports the Truman experience. Not sure where to donate? Here are a few exciting initiatives you can fuel with your support.
Truman Food Pantry
The Truman Food Pantry fights food insecurity among the student population to ensure their basic needs are met and they can concentrate on succeeding in the classroom. The pantry features food options that reflect the cultures and backgrounds of our students that need it most, providing international options, shelf-stable milk and recipes for healthy meals with ingredients offered. We know your generous support will continue to make a profound impact for students who use the food pantry, and with a $5,000 match from Jacqueline Settlage you can stretch your support even further.
Career Center Clothing Closet
When it comes to landing an internship or the first big job after college, clothes can make all the difference. Truman’s University Career Center has developed a resource to help students strike out on interviews with confidence and make an excellent first impression. The Clothing Closet is stocked with donated items. Donations to the Career Center’s Foundation Fund enable the Career Center to meet needs such as dry cleaning, laundering as well as ensuring a wide representation of sizes. Thanks to a $5,000 match from Amanda Gioia (’93), donations to the Clothing Closet on Giving Tuesday go twice as far!
