Joel Berg, CEO of Hunger Free America, a national nonpartisan nonprofit organization, visited the NTCC campus Wednesday. The visit was part of a coast-to-coast journey this summer to shine a light on the continuing national hunger crisis, to meet with those working on the front lines of hunger, and to advocate for long-term, public policy solutions to food insecurity. In addition to visiting the NTCC CARE Center (formerly Eagle Pantry), Berg also visited sites in Mount Pleasant and Daingerfield.

In addition to their usual workloads, these ladies stepped up during the COVID-19 crisis to work on the front lines to help safely bring students and employees back to campus.
