is here! Today, you can support programs across , including the McGovern Mini Market, which provides groceries and essential items to students facing food insecurity — because no student should have to choose between textbooks and basic necessities. You can help keep the shelves stocked and tomorrow’s physicians healthy and focused on their education, not their next meal. Help us reach our 600 donor goal by making your gift today at go.uth.edu/GD26MMS!
