Pack the Pantries During Birdhouse Food Donation Drive, Aug. 30-Sept. 3
In a 2020 #RealCollege national survey, it was reported that 38% of students attending two-year colleges experience food insecurity. To meet the food insecurity needs of NOVA students, the Financial Stability and Advocacy Centers operate The Birdhouse food pantries on each campus.
Now that our students are back on campus and need this service more than ever, please help us stock the pantries during a food donation drive Monday, August 30 – Friday, September 3.
Please bring your donations to any campus at their locations and times listed.
