Spreading Kindness: NCC Food Pantry's Holiday Food Drive
As we celebrate Kindness, there's no better way to embody the spirit of kindness than by supporting those in need. At B kind, we're excited to announce our collaboration with the Norwalk Community College (NCC) Food Pantry for a special Holiday Food Drive that extends throughout the holiday season. In this blog post, we'll delve into the essential work of the NCC Food Pantry, the impact it has on students, and how you can contribute to this meaningful cause.
NCC Food Pantry: A Beacon of Hope
Founded in 2015, the NCC Food Pantry was established to address the challenge of inadequate nutrition affecting academic performance. Research indicates a direct correlation between proper nutrition and student success, and the pantry aims to bridge the gap by providing accessible resources right on the NCC campus.
Students Served:
In the last academic year (2022-2023), the NCC Food Pantry recorded over 10,000 visits, highlighting the significant impact it has on the lives of students and their families.
Testimonials Speak Volumes
General Studies Student:
"It helped me so much. I was able to put food on the table for me and my family and still concentrate on my classes. I am so grateful for the help it gave and the reduced stress I felt."
Nursing Student:
"The Pantry was very helpful this semester. They provided much-needed food for me and my family, giving me more time to focus on my studies. My grades have improved greatly, thanks to the help of the food pantry."
Criminal Justice Student:
"It has helped me so much with food because I live with my mom, and she does not work. I am the only person in the house who works, and by the time all the bills are paid, I would barely have any money left to get food for myself and my mom. With the pantry, I was able to get groceries, and I was so grateful; it would make my day."
World Kindness Week and Beyond: A Time for Action
In the spirit of World Kindness Week, which kicks off our holiday season at B kind (Nov 13 – 19), we invite you to participate in our Holiday Food Drive by purchasing "Kindness Bags" on our website.
