VCentials, Valencia College's one-stop resource for free food, hygiene items and services for students, was spotlighted in a recent blog post by Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. Second Harvest is one of the college's key partners behind VCentials, providing high-quality produce, canned goods and fresh food at low cost to the markets.
The on-campus markets are open to all Valencia students, who may select up to five items for free every day. Shelves and coolers are stocked with produce, protein, dairy, ready-to-eat and shelf-stable foods, and VCentials markets are available at all 7 main campus locations.
As instructors welcomed students back to class, the staff of VCentials did too. At the Osceola campus, Operations Manager Dee said she has encouraged students who visit to grab a snack, even a simple one, and to eat before taking a test.
