Dear Faculty and Staff:
I learned today that the campus food pantry shelves are empty. This comes at a difficult time for many of our students as they are already dealing with the worry and stress of papers, exams, final grades, and graduation (not to mention balancing work/school, taking care of siblings, being single parents, caring for elderly parents – all the struggles and challenges of HVCC students).
I implore you to pick up a few extra groceries this weekend and deliver them to the food pantry on Monday. Ramen noodles, pasta and sauce, cookies, and granola bars can go a long way toward helping a student continue to be successful at HVCC.
Over the past few months, I have been thrilled by the generosity of the HVCC campus in donating items to the pantry and surprised to learn how quickly these items fly off the shelves with so many students in need.
Please join me and the campus community in helping out students in need and helping to feed minds and stomachs.
Thank you,
Jessica Litwin
