Those who were struggling before the pandemic are facing even greater hardships with housing, utilities, food and more<u><span style=\"color:teal\">,<\/span><\/u>&quot; UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, said. &quot;Our participation in this campaign is vital. This year, we have set a campus goal of 50%. It is my hope that the UNMC family will join together at that rate or better, and let our community know we stand behind them.&quot;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#575757\">Here are some details about this year&#39;s campaign:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color:#575757\">Timing:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type:disc\">\n<li>Begins Nov. 8 and runs through Nov. 30.
