For several years, NMC has supported the Northwest Food Coalition by donating non-perishable food items at the holiday party. This year, the holiday party committee asks NMC faculty and staff to simultaneously support both the Coalition and student learning by filling the pantries through the Food for Thought food drive organized by Kristy McDonald’s Professional Communications class.
Any donations that usually go to the holiday party drive should be donated to the Food for Thought Food Drive, running through Nov. 16. Your department or office also has the opportunity to win prizes.
Here’s how it works:
- Form a team (class, individual, department, student group, NMC employees, etc.)
- Collection boxes will be dropped off by October 27
- Start collecting healthy non-perishable food items, toiletries and household items
- For pickup, contact Kyle Moorhead, Student Leader, 231.392.6750, Moorhe2@mail.nmc.edu
Teams have from October 27 until 5 p.m. November 10 to qualify for the grand prize, a catered meal for up to 15 people from Spaghetti Jim’s. (Ask last year’s winners, the dental assisting team, how good it was!)
If you are not able to compete in the team challenge, you can still drop off donations in the red barrels located in most buildings on all campuses. If a monetary donation is more convenient, please donate here.
