HCC GIVING DAY SET FOR APRIL 25

Published on Apr 16, 2024

HENDERSON, Ky.  – Henderson Community College (HCC) is pleased to announce the launch of its inaugural HCC Giving Day on April 25 during Community College Month.

“We are excited to join with our community, alumni and advocates to lend financial support to students facing financial hardships,” said Dr. Jason Warren, President/CEO of HCC. “Funds will be used for need-based scholarships, re-stocking the HCC Care Center (our on-campus food pantry), and the Student Emergency Fund, as well as addressing other needs of students, to help them stay in school and complete their education.”

According to a recent Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) survey, food insecurity is a significant issue facing Kentucky’s community college students, with 25% reporting low food security. By providing access to nutritious food, planners hope to provide a supportive environment where students can thrive both academically and personally.

HCC joins KCTCS and the other 15 colleges in this 24-hour fundraiser.

Individuals, businesses and organizations interested in supporting HCC students can designate their gift directly to the college, and early giving is already open. 

To participate and make a meaningful impact on the future workforce of Henderson, visit the HCC Giving Day website.
