Fuel for Success Food Campaign
It's our mission to ensure that no student goes hungry. Our mobile markets, campus food pantries, and other food initiatives and programs are here to help, and there are additional community resources to assist students in need.
We urge any student who has difficulty accessing sufficient food to eat every day, or who lacks a safe and stable place to live, to contact the Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) Center atshawcenter@montgomerycollege.edu.
Mobile Markets provide fresh fruits, vegetables, and other foods to MC students, faculty/staff, and the community at no cost to participants.
The Mobile Market provides fresh fruits, vegetables, and other foods to MC students, faculty/staff, and the community. The food is distributed on campus at no cost. All you need to do is check the schedule for the campus convenient to you, bring your bags to carry your groceries, and pick up some food.
No proof of eligibility is required. Food is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Mobile Market is a partnership between Montgomery College and the Capital Area Food Bank. If you're interested in volunteering with the Mobile Market, please fill out thevolunteer form.
