HENRY COUNTY, Va. (rbs news now) — Patrick & Henry Community College’s Patriot Pantry, a food and hygiene shop for students, recently received a donation from ValleyStar Credit Union employees.
This was part of United Way of Henry County & Martinsville’s Day of Caring, an annual event that partners businesses with organizations in need of project assistance.
“We are so grateful to United Way for promoting a drive for the Pantry and to ValleyStar for the overwhelming support they have demonstrated for our students through their donations,” said P&HCC Student Success Center Coordinator Seberina Tatum.
Since 2016, the pantry has supported students in need with non-perishable food, hygiene items, and school supplies, operating solely on donations.
In the spring 2024 semester, the pantry served 102 students, and staff are preparing to assist more this fall.
Community donations are welcomed, with items like hygiene products, food, and household supplies in demand.
Those interested in making a donation are encouraged to contact Tatum or Lisa Coffey at 276-638-8777.
