KU Student Affairs engages the KU community in programs, services, and spaces that make learning possible. The Student Engagement Center’s Impact Services help students meet their physical, mental, and emotional needs by providing food, parenting supplies, clothing, and winter coats at no cost. A gift to these services can help purchase material goods, increase or reimagine spaces, or improve accessibility so that a student's needs are met while pursuing a degree.

The Campus Cupboard Fund
The needs of Jayhawks must be met to maintain a positive learning environment. The Campus Cupboard, located in the Kansas Union, provides food and toiletries to University of Kansas students through community support. A $75 gift could provide a student facing food insecurity with enough fresh fruits, vegetables, and allergen-friendly ingredients to prepare a week’s worth of meals.

The Pregnant and Parenting Resource Pantry Fund
Every student’s journey is different, and some include pursuing a degree while raising a family. The Pregnant & Parenting Resource Pantry provides essential resources for pregnant and/or parenting students and their children. A $75 gift to the Pregnant and Parenting Resource Pantry could provide students with the formula, diapers, and clothing necessary to stay engaged in the campus community after the birth of a child.

The Trans Closet Fund
Access to clean clothing can affect a student’s confidence to reach their academic goals. While the Trans Closet provides an opportunity for trans Jayhawks to obtain clothing that aligns with their gender identity, all students are welcome to visit the closet and use its resources. The Trans Closet offers clothes, shoes, makeup, accessories, binders, and a variety of other materials to students at no cost. A $50 gift to the Trans Closet could supply students with an outfit that helps them feel like their best selves in the classroom.

The Winter Coat Closet Fund
Kansas winters can be unpredictable, especially for students unacclimated to the weather. The Winter Coat Closet provides students with coats, gloves, scarves, and other winter clothing, so they can keep warm on their way to and from lectures and labs. A $50 gift to the Winter Coat Closet could provide a student with a new coat, scarf, and gloves.
