After a long delay due to the pandemic, we are happy to announce the return of the Silent Auction that will benefit the UML Strive Pantry and other basic needs security programs. As you may know, the UML Strive Pantry is the food and other resources pantry at UMass Lowell, servicing 300 to 400 students a semester. We remained open during the pandemic, and once the campus reopened the number of students served increased quickly.

If you would like to donate anything to the Silent Auction we would greatly appreciate it. In the past community members have donated artwork, vacation weekends, gift baskets for cozy winter nights, books and writing baskets, appliances, tickets to events, perfume, baby baskets, child baskets, tickets to the Stoneham Zoo and the Southwick Zoo, handmade jewelry, gift certificates or cards to local restaurants, River Hawk items, and so many other types of items.

Donations can be dropped off at either University Crossing, Suite 200 with Annie Ciaraldi or in the GPS Building at the Residence Life Office with Rich Doria. Thank you in advance!! We appreciate our UMass Lowell community!!
