TRAVERSE CITY — Northwestern Michigan College Professional Communications students are assisting local families by putting on the ninth annual Food for Thought Thanks-for-Giving project.<\/p>\n

By helping to feed 150 households this holiday season, the students’ objective is to enhance their communication skills through experiential learning. With the help of local organizations, the students are raising funds and food donations in order to provide dinner boxes containing a turkey and all the sides to serve a family of six. The box includes a pan to cook the turkey in and an activity for the family to help make Thanksgiving even more memorable.<\/p>\n

Meal boxes will be distributed on Monday, November 21, to 100 households identified by the NMC Food Pantry and to 50 Big Brothers Big Sisters families.<\/p>\n

Community members can help by donating $10 or more to win a variety of prizes; including Red Wings tickets, a one-night stay at the Great Wolf Lodge with water park passes, a one-night stay at the Delamar Resort, passes to Bay Meadows family golf course (including cart fees), and other local prizes.<\/p>\n

Donations can be made online at nmc.edu\/give<\/a> (Choose the amount, select “designate my gift to others,” and type in “Food For Thought.”) In addition, a private donor has pledged to match monetary contributions up to $5,000. Any additional local companies interested in becoming sponsors of this project are encouraged to contact the students.<\/p>\n
