Dear NMC Students, Faculty and Staff:<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you are having a successful fall semester! As we welcome November, I hope you are looking forward to Thanksgiving as much as I am. To make sure we can all share in this important tradition I am asking for your help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the tenth annual year, Kristy McDonald\u2019s Professional Communications class is partnering with the NMC Food Pantry and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan to donate to 125 families in the Traverse City community. Boxes\u2013each of which feeding approximately six people\u2013will be distributed at the NMC gym on November 20.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are enrolled at NMC as a student (part-time or full-time),\u00a0you can apply<\/a>\u00a0to receive a full Thanksgiving meal for you and your family. The process will be confidential and convenient. The boxes also supplement for the days after the holiday itself, easing any uncertainty families might have.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any monetary contributions that are collected in our month-long drive results in donors having the chance to win prizes like a weekend stay at the Delamar Hotel, an Elev8 family climbing package, a wine tasting for six at Chateau Chantal, and other prizes by donating $10 or more at\u00a0nmc.edu\/give<\/a>. (Choose the amount, select \u201cdesignate my gift to other,\u201d and type in \u201cThanks For Giving.\u201d) Donors can only enter the prize drawing once. Winners will be announced after the Thanksgiving holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Community members also have the option to donate at a glow skate event hosted by our class on November 3 between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. at the Howe Ice Arena in the Traverse City Civic Center. Admission will be $10 to enter and $5 to rent ice skates.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final option to assist is to donate pop cans in their marked bins, found in NMC\u2019s North Hall, East Hall, Timothy J. Nelson Innovation Center and Parsons-Stulen Building. The bins will be collected twice a week from now until November 13. If any departments are interested in donating items, please contact Meredith Kilbourn at\u00a0kilbou14@mail.nmc.edu<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for your help. Together we can ensure all Hawk Owls have a memorable Thanksgiving! <\/span><\/p>\n
