THROUGH NOVEMBER 18
Newport News Shipbuilding’s annual Holiday Food Drive is Nov. 7-18. Hunger exists in every zip code in our region, and it is year-round. Nearly 62,000 Peninsula residents must choose between food and other critical needs like childcare, electricity, medicine and transportation. With shipbuilder support, we can help our neighbors achieve long-term food security, so they no longer have to make such tough decisions.
