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.

We will remain open to students throughout the summer. From now until the beginning of the Fall semester, you can request a no-contact pick-up or schedule an appointment to shop in-person.

Request a no-contact pick-up:

Email btcstudentcupboard@blackhawk.edu to request a no-contact pick-up. In the email, please detail:

The number of children (age 0-17), adults (age 18-64), and seniors (age 65+) in your household.
Any particular items you need/want included.

Within 1-3 business days, a member of the Student Cupboard will reply to your email and let you know when your items are ready for pick-up. Once available, you can pick-up your order at Central Campus during regular business hours.

Schedule an appointment to shop in-person:

To schedule an appointment for in-person shopping, please email btcstudentcupboard@blackhawk.edu. In your email, list a few days/times that work for you to shop in-person.

Within 1-3 business days, a member of the Student Cupboard will reply to your email with the day/time of your in-person shopping appointment.

Please Note: If you are more than 10 minutes late to your scheduled appointment, you will need to reschedule.
