“Being able to be on campus and continue my schoolwork without having to leave to go buy something is so convenient for us to be able to have these free meals prepared [so we can] concentrate on the work that needs to be done,” said student Alisha Kaluhiokalani. “I’m grateful and I wanted to say mahalo to all the donors and those who have been able to put together Meals with a Mission and make it possible for me to partake.”
Windward Community College Meals with a Mission supports students who are struggling with food insecurities.
More than 50% of WCC students receive some sort of financial aid and/or supplemental food assistance. The troubling reality is that many WCC students don’t have enough to eat. Being hungry affects their focus and has the potential to impact their grades.
The education these promising students receive at WCC can change their future opportunities. And the nutrition provided through the Meals with a Mission program ensures they have every opportunity for success.
Please consider making a gift in support of this important program. Faculty, staff, alumni, parents and students, as well as windward community members and ambassadors, are encouraged to support the program with a gift during this campaign. Gifts of every amount are welcome and meaningful!
