Centura Chesapeake staff members collect PPE and food to donate to healthcare workers, children and less fortunate individuals within the community.

Wednesday, April 1st, Centura College’s Chesapeake campus collected food and beverage donations and assembled nearly 100 facial masks for healthcare workers within our community, all while practicing social distancing. This event was held so that the campus staff members could collect materials and food for individuals within the community who need extra supplies and support.

“We at Centura College Chesapeake wanted to provide support as communities struggle throughout our nation,” said Centura College Chesapeake’s Campus Executive Director Michael Bragg. “We made the decision to collect PPE and food to help make sure that basic needs for healthcare workers, who are on the front lines of this pandemic, and children, whom represent our future, can be met.”

The food and beverages were donated to Buffalow Family and Friends Community Days (BFFCD), which is a family-oriented organization that offers support, food and clothing to the Chesapeake community in Chesapeake, Virginia. Currently, BFFCD is together daily lunches for thousands of children since the schools were closed for the remainder of the year.

The facial masks will be donated to the The Chesapeake Taskforce on Aging which is a non-profit organization that focuses on providing quality of life for seniors within the community. The masks will go to home healthcare workers who are performing their duties within assisted living facilities and homes right here in Chesapeake.
