This is a special opportunity for students in the new cohort and the returning students to meet each other and it exemplifies two important pillars of the Honors College: service and fellowship.<\/p>\n<p>The students worked seamlessly together unpacking boxes of donated produce, including grapes, bananas, strawberries, peaches, lettuce, and potatoes. They carefully inspected the items and sorted them into packages which would then be available the next day in their distribution center. At the distribution center, patrons are welcome to come and pick up the packed items and deliver them to local agencies. With food insecurity on the rise in many communities, these items are a welcome relief. The work of sorting and packing all of the donated food is a worthy task, and the work the students and other volunteers did that day was equivalent to what 30 full-time food bank employees could do! The volunteer job done, the students then enjoyed ice cream and socialized at the Control Tower Ice Cream Shop.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the Honors College at HVCC, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hvcc.edu\/programs\/honors\/index.html\">website<\/a> or email <a href=\"mailto:honorscollege@hvcc.edu\">honorscollege@hvcc.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the Northeast Regional Food Bank, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/regionalfoodbank.net\/\">website<\/a> or email <a href=\"mailto:info@regionalfoodbank.net\">info@regionalfoodbank.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180249\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180249\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-180249 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6915b-300x154.jpg\" alt=\"students in storage room with boxes\" width=\"300\" height=\"154\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180249\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">students carefully listen to instructions on how to handle the food donations<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180251\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180251\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-180251 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6928b-300x147.jpg\" alt=\"student sorting produce in boxes on tables\" width=\"300\" height=\"147\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180251\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">students busy sorting the produce!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180250\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180250\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-180250 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6924b-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"students pose while sorting food\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180250\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(left to right) Joe Takyi, Natalia Jonas-Thomas, Angelo Polito, Eva Hurley, Aubrey Adamo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180252\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180252\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-180252 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6922b-300x174.jpg\" alt=\"Student pose while sorting food in boxes on tables\" width=\"300\" height=\"174\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180252\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(left to right) Molly Graiff, Fallon Greenaway, Handy Wang, John Geleta, Hannah Roberts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180253\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180253\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-180253 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6918b-300x277.jpg\" alt=\"students pose while sorting food\" width=\"300\" height=\"277\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180253\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(left to right) Riley Noone, Jules Ortiz, Vanessa Velazquez Roblero<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180254\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180254\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-180254 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6933b-300x155.jpg\" alt=\"students pose for group photo\" width=\"300\" height=\"155\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180254\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Job well done!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180255\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180255\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-180255 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6935b-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"students pose by sign at ice cream stand\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Time to enjoy some ice cream<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Mon, 18 Aug 2025 11:41:52 +0000 by\u00a0l.hassib<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
