For the past eight years, the UvA has been committed to Voedselbank AmsterdamExternal link, an organization that distributes food packages to over 13,000 people living in Noord-Holland and Flevoland. Over 4,400 of those receiving help live right here in Amsterdam. 

Individuals who receive food from Voedselbank Amsterdam do not have the financial means to buy sufficient food for themselves and their families. For example, a family with two children who have a monthly budget of less than €685 to provide the whole family with both food and clothing can register for help from Voedselbank. Voedselbank Amsterdam is run entirely by volunteers and is dependent on donations to buy and distribute food.

In past years, UvA has been proud to help Voedselbank Amsterdam with monetary donations – let’s do so again this year! Will you help us to break our record of €6,690? Use the links below to donate – all proceeds go directly to Voedselbank Amsterdam!

To make things even better: UvA employees and students are not the only people who can donate! The links below are accessible to everyone, so feel free to share them with others.

This season, let’s feast together!

If you have any questions or technical problems using the links above, please contact Zeph van Berlo (z.m.c.vanberlo@uva.nlExternal link) or Marthe Möller (a.m.moller@uva.nlExternal link).

On behalf of Voedselbank Amsterdam, thank you very much for your donation!
