Students need assistance with food, transportation, other costs
With the cost of tuition and books and the hard work involved to achieve academic success, university or college is tough.Then there are all those everyday expenses adding to those cares, such as accommodation, food and transportation.Giving Tuesday - an international event which takes place annually after the American Thanksgiving holiday - is designed to encourage people to donate to good causes after the materialistic spending of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Algoma recently held a Halloween campus tour in which donations were made to the school’s food bank, but those donations won’t last all winter and there is a need for fresh vegetables, eggs and bread, Chiarello said. Finding a part time job will cover many non-academic costs for students, but they need help while looking for a job or are between part time jobs.
“We want to be able to provide some sort of support to them because unexpected things happen in life.”
