With an ever-increasing demand for food, the food bank has even started hosting pop-up stations throughout the Capital Region. Volunteers packed boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables to be distributed to local charities, food pantries and homeless shelters. Any slightly bruised food was not discarded, rather it was collected in a separate bin to be distributed to local farms for animal consumption.<\/p>\n<p>The PTK volunteers took this opportunity to help the community, one of the core values of Phi Theta Kappa. With\u00a0its\u00a0purpose of\u00a0developing leadership and service, Phi Theta Kappa promotes academic\u00a0excellence and fellowship for all its\u00a0members.\u00a0This is why members are proud to say #IAMPTK.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about PTK, email: <a href=\"mailto:ptk@hvcc.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ptk@hvcc.edu<\/a><br \/>\nFor more information about the\u00a0Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY, email: <a href=\"mailto:info@regionalfoodbank.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">info@regionalfoodbank.net<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_110714\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-110714\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110714 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/FoodBank_Pravin_Timypaul-450x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-110714\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pravindra Persaud (left)<br \/>Timypaul Lupe (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_110715\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-110715\" style=\"width: 354px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110715\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Food_Bank_Linda_Michael-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"354\" height=\"472\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-110715\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Goodman (left)<br \/>Linda Barenboim (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_110716\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-110716\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110716\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/FoodBank_Ivey_Lamyaa-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"427\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-110716\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ivey Green (left)<br \/>Lamyaa Hassib (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Fri, 21 Aug 2020 12:00:33 +0000 by\u00a0l.hassib<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Members of the HVCC Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society volunteered at the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY in&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-student-announcement-college-related"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14626\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
