Fuel the First Week!

MPC Students with Louie
Fuel the First Week

Students will arrive on campus this week filled with hope, ambition, and the excitement of new beginnings. For many, the first week of the semester sets the tone for the months ahead — and having the right resources from day one can make all the difference.

The MPC Foundation believes that no student should have to start their academic journey worrying about whether they can afford essentials like books, transportation, or supplies. That’s why we launched the Fuel the First Week campaign, an initiative designed to provide students with the tools and confidence they need to succeed from the very start.

Your gift to the MPC Foundation can help students overcome barriers and focus on what truly matters: learning and growth. From notebooks and pens to backpacks, laptops, and textbooks, each contribution has a direct and immediate impact. 

Every dollar is used where it’s needed most, but the following giving levels and examples illustrate the ways your contribution can help ensure that every MPC student begins their journey with confidence, support, and the resources to thrive.

  • $10Start-up Supplies: Notebook and pens for the first week of classes

  • $50Miles to Go: Gas for the week
  • $100Gear Up: Backpack with supplies
  • $250Connected & Ready: Laptop or tablet for classwork
