Norfolk, NE
Recently, AWG Cares provided a grant in the amount of $3,000 to Northeast Community College (NECC) Foundation in Norfolk, NE, designated for their student food pantry. The grant request was submitted by Cynthia Puntney, AWG Nebraska Division Support Center employee.
The Northeast Food Pantry serves currently enrolled students at Northeast Community College and students attending the UNMC Norfolk campus, providing vital assistance to meet their food needs. The grant funds will be used to purchase needed food and toiletries to supply the pantry for the students’ use, according to Gina Krysl, Director of Student Care Outreach.
“We are incredibly grateful for our relationship with AWG and how much they care about our students,” Krysl said. “This grant donation will help us meet some of the food insecurities our students experience. When students’ basic needs are met, they can focus on academic performance which leads to increased graduation rates and higher-paying jobs, better mental health, and overall well-being.”
The Northeast Community College Foundation supports Northeast students through scholarships, emergency funds, and more.
Thank you, Cynthia, for donating to AWG Cares and submitting this grant request!
