Anoka-Ramsey Community College to host Community Resource Fairs at Cambridge and Coon Rapids Campuses

February 20, 2020

Anoka-Ramsey Community College is hosting Community Resource Fairs on Tuesday, Feb. 11 on the Cambridge Campus and Wednesday, Feb. 26 on the Coon Rapids Campus.

The public is invited to the fairs, along with students, faculty and staff, to discover resources provided by community partners who can help with basic needs such as housing, food, mental health services, child care, legal services and domestic violence help. Organizations in attendance will include Second Harvest Heartland and Outlook Clinic in Cambridge, and SNAP Food Assistance and Hope for Youth in Coon Rapids, among many more.

“We are seeing the need for these resources grow and are realizing that we can help in these other ways, which ultimately helps with the students’ success here at school. If you aren’t eating, are at risk of becoming homeless or need medical care, that should come first. It’s hard to focus on your classes if you don’t know when you are going to be able to eat next,” said Nikki Jagodzinski, counselor at Anoka-Ramsey.
