Midland College to Host West Texas Food Bank’s Produce RoadshowSeptember 19, 2025

Midland College is proud to partner once again with the West Texas Food Bank to host the Produce Roadshow on Monday, Sept. 22, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in front of the June and Frank Cowden, Jr. Dining Hall on the MC campus.

This free, community-wide event will provide fresh produce and resources to students and local residents, while supplies last. Attendees can also enjoy a free hot dog lunch, in addition to connecting with local organizations offering information and support services that address a wide range of needs, including food insecurity, housing, medical and mental health services, financial assistance, and more.

“Midland College takes our responsibility to serve this community very seriously,” said Dr. Damon Kennedy, Midland College President. ”Access to fresh, healthy food is essential to the overall health and wellness of the Permian Basin, and we are proud to partner with the West Texas Food Bank to help meet that need.”

“We know that challenges outside the classroom can impact success inside the classroom,” said MC Vice President of Student Services Joseph Granado. “By working with partners like the West Texas Food Bank, we can help remove barriers and give students the support they need to thrive.”

In addition to the West Texas Food Bank, several local organizations and resources will be available, including:

• Family Promise of Midland 
• Literacy Coalition of the Permian Basin 
• Midland Fair Havens 
• PermiaCare
• Pink the Basin
• MC Recruiting 
• MC Financial Aid 
• MC Veterans Office 
• MC Adult Basic Education 
• Sul Ross State University

We invite all students and community members to join us for this important event and take advantage of the valuable resources and support available.

The Produce Roadshow is part of Midland College’s ongoing commitment to student success, collaboration, and a community focus that ensures that individuals across the Permian Basin have access to resources that promote health, stability, and well-being.
