Access to food | MICA – Passprogram News

The MICA Food Access Initiative aims to provide short-term emergency assistance to address food insecurity among MICA students. The Food Access Committee recognizes that while food insecurity is a national issue, it is a local issue here at MICA, and our community is working to provide support in two specific ways to help ease the burden of student access to healthy meals.

Our goals:

Create a variety of opportunities to support students experiencing food insecurity.

Create a safe space to distribute nutritious food to current MICA students.

Create and promote a friendly and confidential space on campus for food distribution.

Collect donations of nutritious, high-quality food, cash donations, and transitional meals.

Raising awareness of the issue of hunger while supporting healthy food choices.

Encourage the MICA family to cultivate a sense of community and service to our students.
