Welcome! We’re thrilled you’re considering ways to give back this season. Dining Services is proud to collaborate with Operation Food Search and give our WashU Student community an opportunity to support one another with three meaningful ways. Feel free to choose one, two, or all three options – your generosity can make a significant impact this holiday season!
How to Give Back:
Transfer Meal Points
Students who are interested in transferring meal points to the Food Security Fund can do so at the end of the Fall and Spring Semester. You can transfer 25 or 50 meal points. To transfer points please fill out the form here. If you would like to be considered to transfer a larger number of points please email diningservices@wustl.edu.
Learn more about the Food Security Fund here.
