Description
For many years, the VU family has collected thousands of non-perishable food items and donated thousands of dollars to support the efforts of Sandy’s Pantry in assisting VU students who may be food challenged. Demand for food banks has risen due to the Covid-19 pandemic and rising prices for food and everyday items. The pantry is a partnership between VU and St. John’s United Church of Christ. It provides VU students with free non-perishable food and additional products several times each month in a judgement-free environment.
