Students with dining plans on campus donated nearly $1,800 through meal swipes to help sponsor United Way operations in northeast Missouri.

John Stewart, general manager of Sodexo, thanked students for their incredible generosity in supporting the people of northeast Missouri. Zac Burden, assistant director of Residence Life, managed a process for students to donate meal swipes securely online. Students with the Residence Hall Association and National Residence Hall Honorary staffed tables alongside United Way board members to encourage students to donate and learn about the member agencies and their work in the region.

Bill Castles, executive director for the United Way of Northeast Missouri, noted this donation will help to make possible the vital operations of various member agencies. He thanked campaign chair Amanda Selby for recruiting board members to assist with meal swipe donations and sharing information with students about how the United Way helps people in the community.

Truman Residence Life and Sodexo have partnered in this fundraiser for decades, raising tens of thousands of dollars throughout the program’s history. To learn more about local United Way efforts, get involved with fundraising or make a donation, visit liveunitednemo.org.
