As Austin Community College District (ACC) kicks off a new academic year, the ACC Foundation invites all faculty and staff to support the Riverbat Bites Food Pantry through the “Fuel the Flight” campaign.

Food insecurity presents a critical barrier to learning, and ensuring students are nourished is essential to empowering them to reach their full potential. The impact of campus food and basic need essentials assistance is felt directly by ACC students:

“I really appreciate the food pantry because it truly helps a lot. I think it is a great help for my family and I to be able to have food provided to us by ACC!” — ACC Student

Faculty and staff can make a difference by choosing one of the following donation options by September 30:
