Naval Health Clinic Charleston Petty Officer 2nd Class Anthony Houston, places non-perishable food items recently donated by NHCC staff members in a food collection barrel in the NHCC atrium at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. NHCC is participating in the "Feds Feed Families" campaign to collect food and help combat hunger in our local communities. NHCC has one of several food collection barrels placed at commands around the Weapons Station. Last year the Weapons Station collected more than 3,240 pounds of food. This year’s goal is to increase that amount by 10 percent. While food banks typically see large amounts of food on their shelves over the winter months, donations typically trail off after the holidays are over. Personnel wishing to donate have until the end of August to place non-perishable food items in the designated box in the atrium. Monetary donations may be made through the Religious Offerings Fund at the Weapons Station chapel. Each dollar is the equivalent to five pounds of food.
