Thanksgiving Donation Drive

October 3-31, 2024

The Heart of BCTC thrives off of the generosity and philanthropy of fellow Kentuckians. Donations of food, hygiene, and baby products allow our students to focus more time on their studies and building their success. Your support allows us to continue to meet growing demand. In August 2024, student usage was up 78% over the previous year.

Check below for items currently in need. Items can be dropped off at SEC 101 at Newtown on Monday - Friday from 8:00 - 5:00, or e-mail bctc-hub@kctcs.edu to schedule a donation pickup.

There are also donation dropboxes in the Libraries at Newtown and Leestown. If you leave a donation in one of the dropboxes, please send us an e-mail to let us know.

You can make a cash donation, if you prefer, to the Heart here: https://alumni.kctcs.edu/g/give-to-bctc
