These students are improving their professional communication skills, while making a real difference in the lives of others in our community &#8211; literally, helping feed the hungry (and, affording a bit of Thanksgiving joy). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">They believe everyone should get to experience Thanksgiving, and with our help, we can help make this come true. They are asking us \u2013 the NMC family \u2013 to join in the efforts and fill the red bins by November 14. You can donate as an individual, or join together with your classmates or co-workers to share in the spirit of gratitude! Red collection bins are located at the lobby of the following buildings: Osterlin Building, Timothy J. Nelson Innovation Center, Parsons-Stulen, and the Great Lakes Campus.\u00a0 The class aims to collect:<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Mini Marshmallows (10 oz. bags)<\/span><\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Granola Bars (boxes)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Donations can be made online at <\/span><a style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nmc.edu\/about\/foundation\/giving\/give.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.nmc.edu\/about\/foundation\/giving\/give.html&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1667567262657000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0u7YVUkirwh_RRnqD02Fnz\">nmc.edu\/give<\/a><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"> (Choose the amount, select \u201cdesignate my gift to others,\u201d and type in \u201cFood For Thought.\u201d) In addition, a private donor has pledged to match monetary contributions up to $5,000.
