From The Foundation: Thank You for Helping Fight Food Insecurity

On behalf of The VGCC Foundation,

A heartfelt thank you to all of our amazing vendors, shoppers, and supporters who came together to make our 4th Annual “Fill the Pantry” Craft Show such a wonderful event! From the talented vendors who shared their creations to every shopper who purchased an item, made a donation, or helped spread the word, we are so grateful for your support.

While the crafts, shopping, and fellowship made for a fun day, the true purpose of this event is to support the VGCC Food Pantry and help ensure our students have access to the food and resources they need to succeed.

Thanks to your generosity, we raised $1,713.00 and collected 726 items to help stock our pantry shelves and support VGCC students facing food insecurity.

This is what community looks like: coming together, lifting one another up, and making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students. Every dollar, every donated item, and every act of kindness helps us continue our mission of Building Futures: Empowering Students. Strengthening Communities.

Thank you for being part of something bigger than a craft show. Together, we are changing lives, one student at a time!
