A message from NC’s Give Back Committee:<\/em><\/p>\n

Each year, the Give Back Committee supports student families in need by accepting offerings of children’s gifts, clothing and food to ease the strain of the holiday season.<\/p>\n

This year, the annual Adopt a Family and Give a Gift to a Child initiatives will not run due to COVID-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n

The College community has always been so incredibly supportive and generous to our NC student families and we know that many individuals and departments will be very disappointed. However, we would like to encourage all employees\/departments and students to take part in their local community toy\/food drives or participate in the Nourishing Minds Fund here at Niagara College.<\/p>\n

Community drives offer several ways to make a difference for families and individuals in need over the holiday season, and many organizations offer Adopt a Family, Angel, Teen or Senior programs or provide opportunities for the community to donate unwrapped gifts or non-perishable food items.<\/p>\n

The links below are just a few of our local community drives that students in need can access or for those looking to make a donation:<\/p>\n
