Through the Howard Community College campus food pantry, the Fueling Dragons program at HCC is helping students who are experiencing food insecurity. Fueling Dragons is a series of programs designed to increase students’ knowledge about nutrition, support students in making healthy choices, and provide access to healthier food options through meal kits, recipes, education, and workshops.
We invite you to join us by donating the following most-needed items starting March 1, 2024. You can place them in the Black & Yellow Bins labeled for HCC in the Harris Upper Commons or outside the kitchen door near Lyle Buck Hall.
