Sample Donor Request Letter

Dear [Donor's Name],

On behalf of the Kangaroo Pantry at UMKC, we hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. We are reaching out to you because we believe in your commitment to supporting students in need and making a positive impact on our community.

The Kangaroo Pantry is a vital resource on campus, providing essential food items and personal care products to students who are facing financial hardships and food insecurity. We strive to ensure that no student goes hungry or has to compromise their education due to lack of basic necessities.

However, we cannot continue to serve our students without the generous support of individuals like you. Your contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of many UMKC students who rely on the pantry to meet their basic needs.

Here are just a few reasons why your support is crucial:

• Combatting Food Insecurity: Many students struggle to afford regular meals, which can negatively impact their health, well-being, and academic performance. By supporting the Kangaroo Pantry, you directly contribute to alleviating food insecurity among our students.
• Promoting Student Success: Access to nutritious food is a basic necessity that should not be a barrier to student success. Your donation helps ensure that students can focus on their studies without the constant worry of where their next meal will come from.
• Fostering Community: The Kangaroo Pantry also serves as a gathering place where students can connect, find support, and build a sense of community. Your support helps create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all students.

We kindly request your support in the form of a monetary donation or food items. Your donation will directly impact the lives of UMKC students and contribute to their overall well-being.
