To make accessing essentials even easier, we have placed food boxes at convenient locations around campus, allowing students to collect food anonymously and without any need for contact. These boxes are stocked with basic staples, ensuring you can grab what you need discreetly and quickly.
You’ll find the food boxes located on the quad between Building 4 and Building 19, as well as near the far side of Building 17. They’re here to offer you support when you need it, no questions asked—just one more way McDowell Tech is here to help you stay focused on your studies and well-being.
The Food Pantry is named in honor and memory of a former employee, Kim Ledbetter, who spearheaded efforts to start and maintain the food pantry.
We are grateful for her legacy, and are proud of the opportunity to continue her wonderful efforts to provide for our students.
