Mark Langenfeld teaches psychology and sociology at Northwood Technical College in Superior, Wisconsin. He’s also the author of a book titled Wisdom from the Woods.
Mark recently donated more than $1000 in book royalties to the Northwood Tech Foundation to support Blaze’s Cupboard, which provides free food, school supplies, and gas and grocery gift cards for students who need extra help. He was happy to hand over the generous donation — and plans to continue donating all the royalties from his book sales to the charity.
He was inspired to help out from his college experiences. “I was once a student, and I was also hungry, particularly in graduate school,” Mark said. “And I come from a family that’s low income, and so my parents weren’t able to help me with any of the finances. So there were times that I literally had cereal for supper. And so when I saw that some of our students were struggling, as so many of them are, with food insecurity, I thought to myself, I can relate to that.”
