VCU Food drive

In response to shortages at the Central Virginia Food Bank, VCU is launching a food drive to support Meals on Wheels, the Central Virginia Food Bank and the Community Kitchen programs. The drive will run from Tuesday to Thursday, with multiple locations across the Monroe Park and MCV campuses.

Donors will be greeted by VCU mascot Rodney the Ram at the drop-off locations on West Broad and Harrison streets Tuesday from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Items in highest demand are canned meats, fish, vegetables and fruits, peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, pasta and rice. Monetary donations will also be collected.

Drive-through drop off locations will be available near the intersection of Cary and Belvidere streets and West Broad and Harrison Streets.
