Lincoln College Students Food Drive to benefit Bread for Life |

Lincoln College and Bread for Life pair for hunger, nutrition issues Lincoln College of New England nutrition program students and Bread for Life “have a wonderful thing going on,” said Nancy Morrell, chairwoman of Allied Health Programs and director of Nutrition and Foodservice Management at the Southington college. Every year in March, the students conduct a food drive to benefit Bread for Life in conjunction with National Nutrition Month and the study of food insecurity and food assistance programs in the United States including Connecticut. This year about 90 lbs. of food and monetary donations were collected.
Bread for Life helps out Lincoln College of New England nutrition students, too. As part of the requirements to become a dietetic technician, registered, students are required to complete internship hours in a variety of food and nutrition settings. The students recently began completing some of those hours at Bread for Life where they are able to participate in and learn about programs and services related to food assistance and hunger relief. “It is truly a win-win for all. We are grateful to Bread for Life for this learning opportunity,” Morrell said. |
