TSTC Foundation receives $25,000 grant for food pantry

HUTTO — A $25,000 financial gift to the Texas State Technical College food pantry ensures students will have access to necessities when they need them most, officials said.

The TSTC Advocacy and Resource Center’s Helping Hands fund received the donation from the Applied Materials Foundation Jan. 22 to support the distribution of edibles and supplies including diapers to collegians.

The gift is a boon to those who may have faced hardship in the face of the recent Winter Storm Fern, officials indicated.
