MGCC Roadrunner Café

The Roadrunner Café began with a grant from Virginia Foundation for Community College Education to help support student emergency funding. The Mountain Gateway Community College Educational Foundation used a portion of the funding to update the concept of the Cubby Closet to establish the Roadrunner Café. The Roadrunner Café served to help meet the needs of students facing food insecurity, as no food was being served on campus. The grant from the VFCCE ended in 2023. With the success of the Roadrunner Café, we have been able to continue the effort through sponsorship of organizations, individuals, and food drives.

The Roadrunner Café is in Scott Hall and provides quick meals and snacks that can be made in the café. There is also a coffee maker and water in a mini fridge. The café is stocked when classes are in session. Please click here for a list of suggested donation items. Preferred meals are single serving, heat-and-eat but are not limited to those listed.

“Healthy bodies and minds require nutritious meals at every age. But when people don’t have enough food or have to choose inexpensive foods with low-nutritional value, it can seriously impact their health. And once the cycle of poor diet and poor health begins, it can be hard to break.” – Feeding America
