Food and monetary donations benefit the Hawks’ Nest

We are asking for the HFC community to support the Hunger Games by donating canned goods and non-perishable food items at the games on February 22. If you cannot attend the game, you can still donate food by Friday, February 21. Contact HFC Associate Athletic Director Kirk Bradley for drop-off or pickup info at kabradley@hfcc.edu.

If you wish to make a monetary donation, go to our giving page and select Hawks Athletics. All food items and funds will support the Hawks’ Nest, HFC’s student food pantry.

Fostering a competitive spirit since 2014

The MCCAA Hunger Games have been fostering a competitive spirit focused on giving back to our local communities since 2014. All 24 member institutions select a home basketball game during which they encourage people to donate canned goods and non-perishable food items. The donations are tallied and delivered to their local community food pantries.

At the end of the conference season, the MCCAA crowns the winner of the contest with the Hunger Games Plaque. In 2024, the MCCAA Hunger Games provided 9,833 meals to food pantries throughout the state of Michigan. Thanks to the generosity of our community, HFC provided 3,531 meals and was ranked second in total meals provided for the second consecutive year.
