Make a difference this Thanksgiving!
On behalf of the Ivy Tech Marion Chancellor, Executive Cabinet, and Campus Employees, we are coming together to provide Thanksgiving Holiday Food Baskets for students in need, which will be distributed on Friday, November 21.
With SNAP benefits no longer available for many, we know that some students may be struggling. Here’s how you can help:
Please consider donating to this cause—no amount is too small. Supporting our students both in and outside the classroom is one of the most rewarding parts of our mission.
The baskets will be given to students confidentially—no personal information will be requested. Each basket will include a turkey breast, pie, and sides to provide a full holiday meal for their families.
And because we like to have a little fun around here, if you donate a minimum of $10, you get a special perk: you can wear jeans—not just on Friday, but for the entire month of December.
Integrity Fulfillment Services is proud to partner with Ivy Tech Marion for the 2025 Thanksgiving Food Basket Project.
To inspire generosity across our campus and community, Integrity Fulfillment Services has generously contributed $500 as a matching gift, doubling the impact of employee donations and helping ensure every student in need receives a full Thanksgiving meal. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and commitment to making this holiday season brighter for our students and their families.
This initiative is a meaningful way for our campus community to come together and support our students during the holiday season. Thank you for your generosity, kindness, and commitment to making a difference.
