Giving Tuesday 2021 will be held on Tuesday, November 30th from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m
Volunteers Needed!
November 30 is #GivingTuesday. On this day, FSCJ faculty and staff will have the opportunity to support the FSCJ H.O.P.E. Food Pantry by giving online, dropping off food items or volunteering their time at a mobile food giveaway.
*Opportunity to serve is open to employees of the college only. We look forward to the opportunity to serve our students and our community!
Because we are partnering with other organizations and during COVID-19, we want to maintain extra safety precautions; so all volunteers must be 18 or older.
