Free Tonight?

The University of Montana, sponsored by the University Center, will be providing a Thanksgiving Meal at its annual Friendsgiving. (image in folder) Provided by Campus Dining Catering, the meal is free for students and UM campus community who cannot make it home for the holiday, may not have a place to go, may have to work, cannot afford a meal, looking for community, or just interested in that extra turkey meal. Students are welcome to bring their partner and/or kids.

Volunteer & Donation Opportunity

Holiday Helpers runs until December 9th. Holiday Helpers is UM’s campus-wide gift drive, coordinated by ELCS, to spread joy to community members in need during the holiday season. This year, partnerships are with the YWCA, the Poverello Center, and Missoula County Public Schools to collect gifts for families, veterans, and youth experiencing housing and food insecurity.

Applications are now open for both of the China study abroad programs offered by the Max S. Baucus Institute.
