Kits were built to feed a family of four for dinner and contained a ham, mashed potatoes, mac-and-cheese, rolls, corn, green beans, and brownies. Students scheduled times to stop by the college and pick up their meals before the holiday break.<br>Southwest Virginia Community College would like to thank everyone who came together to make this happen for our students, especially Athem HealthKeepers Plus for their generous donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About Southwest Virginia Community College: <em>Since 1966, Virginia\u2019s Community Colleges have given everyone the opportunity to learn and develop the right skills so lives and communities are strengthened.
