Thank You Niagara College!
On Tuesday, November 28th, 2023, the Niagara College community came together and raised an astounding $18,720 in support of Nourishing Minds. Thank you to our generous matching partner and everyone who supported the initiative. Together, we helped over 370 students in need of a warm meal and basic grocery essentials.
Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is the world’s largest generosity movement that encourages people to do good and celebrate giving. At Niagara College, Giving Tuesday is about supporting what matters most – our students.
Every dollar raised on Giving Tuesday (December 3, 2024) will go towards Nourishing Minds, Niagara College’s student food insecurity initiative, helping to provide emergency digital grocery cards and breakfast to students in need. This year, we have partnered with FirstOntario Credit Union, who have committed to supporting the Nourishing Minds fund with a gift of $12,500 on Giving Tuesday. FirstOntario believes that all students deserve a warm meal and basic essentials, so they can focus on being healthy, happy and learn. Students already have a lot on their plate and they shouldn’t have to worry about where their next meal will come from. Help us double this impact with a goal of $25,000!
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 also hosts the Rise & Shine program on both campuses on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s, to provide breakfast items like yogurt, granola bars and juice to students on their way to class.
Your kind support will make a significant impact on a student’s life.
This Year, We Aim To:
Raise $25,000+
Help 400 students
Provide a warm meal to students
Every student deserves to have a warm meal and basic essentials at the end of the day, and with your support, we can address food insecurity across our Niagara College campuses with confidence and resilience.
