NMC Student Resources

nmc-food-pantry-logo.jpgFood Pantry

The NMC Food Pantry operates year-round in order to supply students with nutritious food and personal items in order to combat food insecurity. Food insecurity is the state of being without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. Faculty, staff, students, alumni and other community organizations work together to provide convenient, discreet access to food for NMC students on a year-round basis.

Donations of non-perishable food items and toiletries may be dropped off in the Osterlin Building (#3 on the Front Street Campus map). These staple items are especially helpful:

  • Cereal
  • Canned fruit
  • Mac 'n' Cheese/Boxed Meals
  • Canned tuna or chicken
  • Pasta
  • Pasta sauce
  • Peanut butter
  • Rice/rice packets
  • Soups
  • Canned vegetables
  • Deodorant
  • Feminine hygiene products
  • Shampoo
  • Soap
  • Toothbrushes
  • Toothpaste

To donate money through the NMC Foundation, please visit nmc.edu/give.

Transportation Assistance

The Student Life Office at NMC offers transportation assistance to current NMC students who demonstrate that they could benefit from support in getting to and from their classes, internships, and/or academic-related travels due to financial hardship. Assistance provided is a maximum of $100 per academic semester for up to three times per year (fall, spring, summer if enrolled). Transportation assistance can come in the form of gas cards and/or BATA bus passes. Gas cards and BATA passes will be given out each semester after the drop for 100% refund date has occurred. To apply, please complete the resource intake form. A counselor will reach out within 24–48 hours to schedule an appointment. Since this is a needs-based program, Student Life staff will have discretionary oversight to determine eligibility for this program.

Goodwill vouchers

The Student Life office has a limited amount of Goodwill vouchers available for currently enrolled students. Please fill out our resource intake form if you are interested in this.

lunch Coupons

The Student Life office has lunch coupons for students experiencing food insecurity. If you are in need of this help, please fill out the resource intake form.

Emergency Assistance

If you are currently enrolled in academic classes and are experiencing an emergency (car accident, fire, etc.) that affects your NMC journey, you can fill out the emergency assistance form.
