NSCC granted $19,514 for hunger-free campus

From ItemLive:

North Shore Community College has been given $19,514 in Hunger Free Campus Initiative grants in the wake of SNAP’s uncertainty.

The funds, which have been granted by the Healey-Driscoll administration, are estimated to support initiatives such as food pantries, food lockers, grab-and-go stations, grocery and meal vouchers, SNAP outreach, and cafeteria meal swipes for FY26.

Dr. William Heineman, president of NSCC and chair of the Community College Council of Presidents, expressed his gratitude for the grant.

“Our community colleges have long advocated for holistic student supports. We’re grateful for the Healey-Driscoll administration and the legislature for the Hunger Free Campus grants — hungry students can’t learn, and student basic needs remains a top priority for our colleges.” Heineman said.
