Financial donations for food

To collect financial donations for food, the UPV offers the university community the Solidarity Totem, which allows you to donate food digitally and dignify the aid through wallet cards. It is located in the Student Recreation Centre on the Vera campus.

UPV Patronage Campaign

The Universitat Politècnica de València is also launching a campaign to help those affected by the hurricane through its Patronage platform.
The money raised will go towards the purchase of materials for the reconstruction of the affected areas.
