Our goal is to help you concentrate on your education, not worry about your health.

That’s why we try to help address all dimensions of wellness, including physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, environmental, occupational and financial. We offer on-campus health care, access to food and clothing, mental health counseling, interactive workshops, referrals to local services, and more.

Taking Care of Your Basic Needs

Food. Shelter. Clothing. College students sometimes suffer to meet these basic survival needs. Students shouldn’t have to choose between eating and learning, attending school or having a roof over their head, or struggle to find the clothing right for a job interview.

About Basic Needs Monty's Market

Monty's Market distributes healthy, nutritious food to MVC students in need with pick up and delivery options. Our campus and neighboring community also has a number of resources to address food insecurity. We welcome donations and volunteers.
A stable financial situation allows you to fulfill basic needs, reach educational goals and experience academic success. You have resources available to you, from federal financial aid to help pay for college, to tools that will assist in finding employment.
Numerous local and regional resources are available to help you put a roof over your head. From shelters available to veterans or the disabled, to housing for families with children, to aid for transitional youth, you have resources to help keep you safe and warm.

Finding Common Ground

The Common Ground initiative urges our campus community to examine and actively work to dismantle beliefs and structures that foster environments of racism, prejudice and inequity. The Common Ground Center provides resources, safe spaces and support to individuals in need – because you belong at MVC.
