10 Friends Give $10 for $10,000
If 10 friends gave $10 and those 10 friends asked 10 more friends to give $10, we can feed more than 1,000 hungry students for an entire day!
At Quinsigamond Community College, the sound of hunger growling is a major issue. Over the last year, our students have reported the following food concerns:
- 49% had low or very low food security
- 48% worried that their food would run out before they had money to buy more
- 33% reported that they were hungry and did not eat because there was no food
These statistics indicate that food insecurity at Quinsigamond Community College is almost double that of the national average.
Food insecurity impacts students on many levels:
- Eating habits and nutrition
- Inability to purchase course materials (books, etc.)
- Missing/dropping required classes
- Lower grades due to inability to focus during class
Student success means making sure all of our students have access to food and resources they need.
The new QCC Food Pantry & Resource Center is operated by volunteers and is designed to give our students a better chance of becoming self-sufficient, successful members of the community.
Let’s work together to stock the shelves, fill the fridge, and feed the students who need it most. It’s time to GROWL back!
Give today to help feed students who are working hard to achieve their dreams.
#GrowlBack #FillTheFridge
We are SOOOO close to reaching our fundraising goal for the QCC Food Pantry thanks to all of YOU. There's still time to give, share and help spread the word before the day is over.
