NORFOLK, Va. - The Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore and Tidewater Community College plan to host the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony of The Community Feed on Monday.
The Community Feed is a campus-based food pantry for TCC students located in the MacArthur Center.
It will serve as a food pantry and partner workspace for learning sessions and one-on-one consultations related to the root causes of food insecurity, which include lack of access to financial literacy, housing, employment, higher education and healthcare.
This campus-based pantry will be open to all TCC students and is currently by appointment only. Click here if you'd like to schedule an appointment.
The Community Feed was funded by a $250,000 donation from TowneBank.
