First, they carefully inspected the packages for quality and expiration dates, then sorted them into their respective categories, and finally boxed and weighed them for distribution.<\/p>\n<p>One of the highlights of the process was sorting through thousands of Reese\u2019s candy bars that would be given to local children for Halloween in just a few days. Another highlight was the experience of working with other members of the local community that share the common goal of thinking of others in need and being proactive about making a difference in the community. This is why members are proud to say #IAMPTK.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_114058\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-114058\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-114058 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Food-Bank_group_102920-450x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-114058\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pictured from right to left: Lauren Murtagh, Jeff Bransky, Matthew Elton, Timypaul Lupe, Kym Delmar, Pravindra Persaud, Shyanne Young, Rebecca Fankhanel, L.Hassib<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_114059\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-114059\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-114059 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Food-Bank_Lauren_Jeff-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-114059\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lauren and Jeff sort through Reese&#8217;s candy bars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_114060\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-114060\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-114060 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Food-Bank_Timypaul_Rebecca-450x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-114060\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Timypaul and Rebecca sort chips and candy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_114061\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-114061\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-114061 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Food-Bank_Pravin_Timypaul-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-114061\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pravin and Timypaul sort condiments and yes, more candy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For more information about PTK, email: <a href=\"mailto:ptk@hvcc.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ptk@hvcc.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information about the Northeastern Regional Food Bank, go to: <a href=\"https:\/\/regionalfoodbank.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/regionalfoodbank.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Fri, 30 Oct 2020 11:50:02 +0000 by\u00a0l.hassib<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Members \u00a0of the HVCC chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society volunteered at the Regional Food Bank of&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-15058","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\/15058","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=15058"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15058\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
