The Market of VT is a Student Affairs initiative that is designed to provide food assistance to students who, for whatever reason, have a hard time obtaining regular, healthy meals. Such a situation could be the result of a short-term disruption in finances, residing in a food desert, or a lack of access to other financial assistance.
This academic year, the Market of Virginia Tech serves approximately 115 students a week. The Market offers seasonal produce and fruits; options for beef, poultry, and vegetarian protein; dairy items; dry-goods pantry stock items; and bonus treats.
Each weekly pickup will provide roughly seven days worth of meals.
