MassBay tackles student hunger

MassBay, WellesleyMassBay Community College’s Student Nourishment and Care Committee (SNACC) has awarded 48 students with meal cards totaling $15,000 for the fall 2019 semester, as part of the new Meal Scholarship Program. Launched as a pilot program in March 2019, The MassBay Meal Scholarship Program first awarded 29 students’ meal cards totaling $2,430 before it was expanded this semester. As a committee, SNACC is committed to helping students overcome food insecurity to ensure their academic goals can be attained.

“Students cannot focus on their studies if they are hungry, if their blood sugar is low, if they are worried about where their next meal is coming from, or if they are worried about whether they can feed their children,” said MassBay President Dr. David Podell.  “The SNACC committee is working to eliminate this barrier, because we know lack of basic needs can derail a student’s goals. This initiative is an important step to eliminate student hunger on our campuses.” MORE
