Double the impact on Nov. 28
The NC community will have a chance to open their hearts and wallets in support of students this Giving Tuesday.
To be held November 28, Giving Tuesday is the world’s largest generosity movement that encourages people to do good and celebrate giving. At Niagara College, Giving Tuesday focuses on supporting students. Over the past three years, the NC community has collectively contributed over $30,000 on Giving Tuesday to the Nourishing Minds fund. New this year, the first $10,000 donated to the Nourishing Minds fund will be matched by a community partner.
“Every student deserves to have a warm meal and basic essentials at the end of the day, and with support from our generous NC community, we can address food insecurity across our Niagara College campuses with confidence and resilience,” said Emily O’Connor, Development Officer.
On November 28, NC aims to raise more than $12,000 which will purchase 240 gift cards and help 240 students through Nourishing Minds. Since its inception, Nourishing Minds has issued over 8,200 grocery gift cards allowing students to purchase food, toiletries and other life essentials. In addition to gift cards NCSAC hosts the Rise & Shine program at both campuses (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) to provide breakfast items like yogurt, granola bars and juice to students on their way to class.
