Story
For students like myself who do not have parents to financially support them, during times like these, it is hard to both balance your finances to make ends meet such as rent, bills/utilities, and even the ability to eat a full days meal, let alone a nutritionally balanced meal --anonymous student taking the # Real College Survey
A survey of almost 500 MHCC students found that: 42% of students were food insecure , 35% were housing insecure , 12% were homeless due to the pandemic and 21% did not have a functional laptop or reliable internet at home. We know that these statistics offer just a snapshot of the challenges that many of our students face every day. That is why the MHCC Foundation is dedicated to supporting their basic needs so they can continue to work toward their educational goals.
