The students were delighted when the coordinators at the food bank told them, &#8220;imagine, that piece of fruit you are holding right now will be in the hands of a hungry child tomorrow!&#8221; When we think of giving to those in need, let&#8217;s think outside the box. Let&#8217;s give our time, our energy, our compassion. There is no monetary value to that necessarily, but it&#8217;s impact is just as important, and that should be our inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the food bank: <a href=\"https:\/\/regionalfoodbank.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/regionalfoodbank.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information about Phi Theta Kappa: email <a href=\"mailto:ptk@hvcc.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ptk@hvcc.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_115480\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-115480\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115480 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/fb_ptm_113020-450x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-115480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Matthew Elton, bearer of strawberries; Pravin Persaud, bearer of apples; Timypaul Lupe, bearer of bananas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/fb_group_113020.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115479 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/fb_group_113020-e1606828532279.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"438\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Tue, 01 Dec 2020 13:05:49 +0000 by\u00a0l.hassib<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Often, when we think about Giving Tuesday we think, &#8220;where can I donate money?&#8221; or &#8220;where can I donate&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-accolades"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15247","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=15247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15247\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
