Under pressure of inflation and skyrocketing rent, Madison College students and their families are facing food insecurity and increasing needs. You can help by donating items to the Cupboard Student Food Pantry, which is currently holding a drive for personal care items.
More than 16,000 pounds of food and household products are distributed each year, says Denise Holin, Cupboard Pantry Coordinator and Student Health Educator.
Items needed:
- Deodorant
- Body lotion, 8 oz or larger
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Kleenex
- Paper towels
- Toilet paper, 4pack
- Liquid laundry soap, 10-25 oz
- Dryer fabric sheets, small packets
- Liquid dish soap, 12-16 oz
- Hand soap, 8-12 oz

Food insecurity donation drive
In addition, the Madison College Foundation is hosting a donation drive to support and feed Madison College students struggling with food insecurity.
Now through May 6, donations will be doubled to ensure students have something to eat during finals week.
By donating $7.50 (the price of one meal) you can provide two meals to a student in need. A gift of $157.50 doubles to provide two weeks of meals.
Plus, your gift will extend beyond providing meals. You will help make sure no student is denied an education due to lack of funds. It will also support the good work of the Madison College Foundation.
Help at least one student succeed by donating today. https://www.supportmadisoncollege.org/meals/
