FDLTCC offers food bundles for students

Although Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College couldn’t hold its annual Giving Thanks Feast this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the college still came through for its students last Friday, Nov. 20.

It gave “food bundles” instead, in a Covid-conscious manner.

Through a partnership with B&B Market, the food bundles were filled and assembled into convenient packages for contactless pickup. Each food bundle included a 12-14 pound turkey, one box of stuffing, 5 pounds of boil-in-a-bag potatoes, gravy, homemade coleslaw, pumpkin pie and whipped cream, corn, cranberries, one dozen rolls, and one pound of butter.

It’s all a part of the college’s response to the pandemic, which included focusing on one of the college’s core values, compassion.

Funding was provided by the American Indian College Fund and the Bureau of Indian Education CARES Act in order to support students with food insecurity.
