Student Cupboard

Helping Students in Need

The BTC Student Cupboard provides supplemental food and other necessities for current students and their families who are in need. Our vision is to ensure no BTC student goes hungry because of a lack of income or access to food.

Students may apply online for assistance.

To get started, complete the BTC Student Cupboard Application online to receive your confirmation number. Note: You only need to complete the online application once – just save your confirmation number for future requests.

Once you receive your confirmation number (via email), you may:

Shop in-person on Wednesdays (12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.) or Thursdays (9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.) during the Spring semester. You need your confirmation number to access the cupboard.
Request a no-contact pick-up by emailing btcstudentcupboard@blackhawk.edu with your confirmation number. Pick-ups may be requested once per week. Wait for a response from the Student Cupboard to arrange a pick-up time.
