The food pantry will provide free, nutritious groceries and essential household items to college students experiencing food insecurity. The initiative is expected to support approximately 100–250 students and is focused on reducing food insecurity, improving academic persistence and completion, and promoting health and wellness so students can remain enrolled and focused on their educational goals.

“The Hazard Independent College Foundation is grateful for Appalachian Regional Healthcare’s continued partnership and support of Hazard Community and Technical College students,” said Jennifer Lindon, PhD, President and CEO of Hazard Community and Technical College. “The ARH Foundation’s monetary donation to the food pantries will help students feed their families and remain in college, ultimately leading students to program completion and rewarding careers.”
