December 3 is GivingTuesday

GivingTuesday on December 3 is about the collective impact of giving to shape transformative experiences for Tri-C students. Our four campus food pantries served 2,655 students in 12,559 visits in the 2023-2024 academic year, and we know the need continues to grow.  Thanks to a partnership this year with the American Association of Community Colleges, Tri-C Foundation’s pantries will be getting a boost on GivingTuesday to raise funds to keep them well-stocked for hungry students.

Students like Rebecca have shared how important the food pantries are for keeping students enrolled at Tri-C:

Shortly after enrolling in classes, I had my beautiful son, Jeremy. Now that I have the added responsibility of taking care of another life, it has become even more stressful to budget.

The student pantry, like many of Tri-C’s student-centered programs, provides an extra source of security. Just the sight of the contents of the pantry is enough to bring tears to my eyes. I speak for many of the student body when I say this support lifts a weight off our shoulders. Thanks to programs like the student pantry, I have no worries that the path to success will be made easier for the current and future students of Tri-C.
