The shelter should be installed in the next two weeks.

Giving Tree Program Update

Thank you to everyone who supported NMC students through the Giving Tree Program! Your support truly made a difference as we were able to brighten the holidays for more than 200 NMC families over the last seven years.

Going forward, we will be directing donors and students toward our incredible new resource on campus: the NMC Food Pantry. Learn more here

This year, and beyond, we invite you to donate food, hygiene products, and funds to the NMC Food Pantry to provide critical support for our students during the holidays. With your support, the NMC Food Pantry anticipates being able to offer gift cards to students and families who need extra help this holiday season. 

To make a quick and easy donation to the Food Pantry, please visit nmc.edu/give.

If you encounter a student looking for holiday support, please direct them to the NMC Food Pantry. Other community programs such as Toys for Tots, Goodwill, and the Salvation Army may be able to assist with other holiday needs. 

Please contact the NMC Foundation (995-1021 or foundation@nmc.edu) if you have any questions.
