The MICA Food Access initiative aims to provide short-term emergency relief for food insecurity among MICA students. The Food Access Committee recognizes that while food insecurity issues are a national problem, it is seen here locally at MICA and our community seeks to provide support in two specific ways to help alleviate the burden a student has around the access to healthy meals.
Our Goals:
- Create different avenues to support students experiencing food insecurity.
- Create a safe space to distribute nutritious food to current MICA students.
- Create and promote a humane and confidential space on campus dedicated to food distribution.
- Collect quality and nutritious food donations, monetary donations, and meal swipes.
- Raise awareness around hunger issues, while also supporting healthy food choices.
- Encourage the MICA family to foster a sense of community and service to our students.
