Please join the University of Iowa Retirees Association (UIRA) for a fundraiser benefiting the UI Student Food Pantry, featuring live music by the local band Homebrewed. This welcoming, community-focused event is dedicated to supporting the pantry, which provides a critical service during a time of persistently high food prices and ongoing financial pressures. The pantry supports undergraduate and graduate students—both domestic and international—as well as faculty and staff across the campus community. UIRA is deeply committed to student success and well-being and is proud to support the pantry’s essential mission.

We are grateful for the generous co-sponsorship of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Graduate College, the Center for Human Rights, International Programs, and Tavern Blue.

Please mark your calendar and watch for additional details as the event approaches. We will provide multiple opportunities to contribute to this important cause. In the meantime, you may wish to visit the pantry's donation page for ideas.

We hope you and your family will join us for this enjoyable and meaningful benefit.
