At Prescott Community Cupboard Food Bank, we work tirelessly to ensure that nobody in our community goes hungry. Through our efforts and the support of individuals like you, we are helping students like this MCC student find hope and overcome adversity.
Understanding College Hunger
College hunger is a prevalent issue that often goes unnoticed. Many students around the world struggle to maintain a healthy diet due to financial constraints. These students face difficult choices daily - buying books or buying meals, paying rent or buying groceries. The pressure to succeed academically while battling food insecurity adds an extra layer of stress.
Supporting Students in Need
At Prescott Community Cupboard Food Bank, we are dedicated to addressing college hunger head-on. Our mission is to provide relief and support to students facing food insecurity, ensuring they have access to nutritious meals so they can thrive both in and outside the classroom.
Through partnerships with local colleges and universities, we have established on-campus food pantries where students can access a variety of fresh produce, non-perishable items, and even personal hygiene products. Our dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to keep these pantries stocked and ready to serve those in need.
Impact on Students
The impact of college hunger on students is far-reaching. It affects not only their physical well-being but also their mental health and academic performance. Many students find it challenging to concentrate in class or excel in their studies when their basic needs are not being met.
However, with the help of Prescott Community Cupboard Food Bank, students can find stability and support during difficult times. By alleviating the burden of hunger, we allow them to focus on their education, pursue their dreams, and ultimately break free from the cycle of poverty.

We firmly believe that addressing college hunger is not just about providing temporary relief but creating lasting change. That's why Prescott Community Cupboard Food Bank collaborates with local businesses, community organizations, and individuals who share our vision.
Together, we develop comprehensive programs that aim to tackle the root causes of college hunger, such as lack of affordable housing, high tuition fees, and limited access to resources. By advocating for policy changes and raising awareness, we strive to create a future where no student has to choose between their education and a meal.
