Penn State Hampton Road's Fundraiser for Foodbank Of Southeastern Virginia
Penn State Hampton Roads Chapter is raising money for Foodbank Of Southeastern Virginia
Story
From Foodbank “Fun” to Foodbank “Fun”draising!
March roars in like a Nittany Lion with a $500 chapter fundraising goal for the Foodbank!
Penn State alumni and friends have conducted online fundraising every year since 2021.
We plan to keep our PENN STATE SPIRIT going to help when so many are fighting hunger and food insecurity -- especially when March typically sees a dip in contributions.
Feeding America projects a 50% increase in food insecurity for our service area, and a 75% increase in food insecurity among children.
So, we’re tapping into the Foodbanks’ buying power. For every $30 we raise, foodbanks can purchase $90 worth of groceries for families in need in Hampton Roads! To kick off our campaign, the Chapter is contributing $100 to the Foodbank.
Our goal is to raise $500 by April 5, 2025. Make your donation today! Every dollar donated helps us provide 3 meals to those in our community struggling with food insecurity.
