Pack the Pantries During Food Donation Drive Thru 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 food pantries on each NOVA campus.
Now that our students are back on campus and need this service more than ever, please help us stock the pantries during our food donation drive through today, September 3.
Please bring your donations to any campus at their locations and during the times listed.
