2025 Center for the Arts Donation Drive to Benefit Patriot Pantry

Body


 


The Center for the Arts will be collecting donations from November 11 through December 14 for the Patriot Pantry, which provides non-perishable food and hygiene items to currently enrolled George Mason students through University Life’s Student Support and Advocacy Center

Three ways to help: 

  1. Drop off donation items at the Center for the Arts main lobby Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. or during scheduled performances at 4373 Mason Pond Drive in Fairfax, VA 22030.

    While all forms of generosity are appreciated, individually packaged items (like granola bars, single-serving snacks, beverages, travel-size toiletries) are ideal for distribution. 
    Most requested donation items include the following:

Food:
Pasta/pasta sauce; rice (instant or regular); cans of tuna, salmon, or chicken; mac and cheese; 
Hormel Compleats microwavable meals; mixed vegetables; soups; 
vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free food options; healthy snacks (granola bars, nuts, crackers); 
peanut butter; jelly; instant oatmeal; cereal and other breakfast items (pancake mix, muffins, etc.)

Personal Hygiene Items:
Body wash, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, bars of soap, lotion, period products,
