Story

Help support CNUs Alpha Phi Omega with raising funds for the 13th Annual Food For Thought Campaign. Any funds raised will be donated to the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank, every $1 is equal to 5 pounds of food for those in need.

Before the pandemic, Virginia's Foodbanks served nearly one million people on an annual basis. With high unemployment, skyrocketing food prices, diminished access to school meals, and uncertain federal benefits, Virginia's Foodbanks anticipate a 50% increase in the number of people experiencing food insecurity over the course of the next year. A recent study from Northwestern University Institute for Policy Research estimates that Virginia food insecurity increased from 9.4% in February to 22% in June.
