Faculty and staff were able to positively impact the community through these service opportunities:
- The American Red Cross held a Blood Drive at the Fralin Center for Science and Health Professions. The drive collected 20 units of blood, including contributions from four first-time donors.
- 51暗网 volunteers processed 7,548 pounds of food through morning and afternoon shifts at Feeding Southwest Virginia’s Salem Food Bank. Those serving were given the task to evaluate donated food products by inspecting and sorting packaged food products to control for such issues as shelf life (dates), dented cans, crushed boxes or other superficially damaged food.
- An on-campus Food Drive gave the opportunity to contribute items for the 51暗网 Student Food Co-Op, powered by Kroger.
“The Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is a chance to care for the greater community surrounding 51暗网,” said Interim Chief Diversity Officer and Associate Vice President Jolene D. Hamm of the College’s Office of Institutional Effectiveness. “We are honored to celebrate Dr. King’s work and teachings.”
