You can make a huge difference to our neighbors in need!

The College of Visual and Performing Arts will host another holiday food drive this season, Monday, October 28 - Thursday, December 12. 

The most desirable items include:

  • Proteins, such as canned tuna, salmon or chicken, peanut butter, beans, and canned nuts.
  • Dairy, such as canned, evaporated, or powdered milk are in high demand.
  • Fruits and vegetables including 100% juice in boxes and cans, low- or no-sodium canned vegetables, and fruits in light syrup or fruit juice.
  • Boxed pasta, rice, cereal, canned soups and stews, and macaroni and cheese are always appreciated.
  • Non-food items such as diapers, feminine products, soaps, and toothbrushes.
  • Baby food & formula

If you’d like to help, you can donate non-perishable items to our Food Bank cans located in the Forbes Center for Performing Arts next to the main Box Office, upstairs in the Grand Lobby, in the Studio Theatre lobby, and outside of Music Room 1115.

(Please, no glass containers - the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank cannot accept them.)
