Thank you to United Way of the Virginia Peninsula for their action and dedication to uplifting our community in countless ways! We were honored to have them as a partner for the Commissioners & Cans Food and Fund Drive supporting Sarah Webb - York County Commissioner of the Revenue as she supports the York County community.

Commissioners & Cans Food and Fund Drive had wrapped up, but we support our statewide food banks (especially our regional organizations Virginia Peninsula Foodbank and Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore) every day in their mission to ensure all Virginians are safe from hunger and food insecurity. Please support a local foodbank or pantry in honor of National Foodbank Day and Hunger Action Month.

It's National Food Bank Day, and we’re celebrating the power of working together.

Across Virginia, seven regional food banks come together through the Federation of Virginia Food Banks to strengthen hunger relief across the Commonwealth. Together, we distribute nutritious food, support local communities, advocate for policies that improve food access, and work to build a stronger, healthier Virginia.

Collectively, Virginia’s food banks distribute more than 10 million pounds of food each month to communities across the Commonwealth. That impact is only possible because of the strength of our statewide network and the many people who come together to support our neighbors.

Today, we’re proud to stand alongside our fellow food banks across Virginia and celebrate what we can accomplish when we work together.

🥫💙 NEWPORT NEWS LEADERS CAN... AND THEY DID! 💙🥫

Leadership does not require a particular title. It happens wherever someone chooses to step up, serve, give, and make a difference. And this Commissioners & Cans Food and Fund Drive season, Newport News showed up! 🙌

As we close out our 2026 campaign, sends a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of the community leaders, organizations, congregations, businesses, and neighbors who joined us in supporting the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank.

We are especially grateful to School Board Chair Dr. Terri Lorraine Best, the congregation of New Beech Grove Baptist Church, Virginia Tech Newport News Center, the congregation of International Kingdom Life Church, former Councilwoman Sharon Scott and the many community members who gave food, funds, time, encouragement, and support throughout our campaign. 💙

Whether you lead from elected office, the workplace, the church, your neighborhood, or simply by being the person willing to step forward when your community needs you, YOU helped us make a difference.

And our work is not finished.

September is Hunger Action Month! 🧡 As Commissioners & Cans comes to a close, we encourage everyone to continue supporting the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank. Donate. Volunteer. Advocate. Engage. Share their mission. Every action helps strengthen the fight against hunger across our Peninsula.

Thank you, Newport News, for showing once again that NEWPORT NEWS LEADERS CAN! 🥫💙

As a leader serving Newport News students and families, her participation is a wonderful reminder that fighting hunger is truly a community effort.

And the work does not stop with the end of our campaign! September is Hunger Action Month, and we hope our entire community will continue to support, donate, volunteer, and engage with the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank throughout the month and beyond. 🥫💙

🎬⚡ COR FAST FIVE: ONE LAST ROUND! ⚡🎬

We’re closing out our COR Fast Five series with YCP intern Carlihn Robertson! 💙💚

Carlihn, a student at Newport News Public Schools Menchville High School, spent his summer with at our Satellite Office, where he had the opportunity to learn the ropes and shadow one of our fan-favorite team members, Jack! 🌟

It was such a pleasure having Carlihn as part of our office this summer. We enjoyed watching him learn, grow, and experience firsthand what it means to serve the citizens of Newport News. We hope this isn’t goodbye, because we would love to welcome him back next summer! ☀️

Our YCP summer is over and the school year is off to a successful start. We’re wishing Carlihn and ALL of our amazing interns a wonderful school year as they return to their high schools and colleges. Keep learning, keep growing, keep leading, and know that you’ll always have friends cheering you on at ! 🎓📚✨

And of course, before we let Carlihn go, he had to take on the COR FAST FIVE! ⚡🎤

🏖️🐚🌊 NEWPORT NEWS COMMISSIONERS & CANS 2026 SPIRIT WEEK: DAY FIVE & THE LAST BIG SPLASH! 🌊🐚🏖️

THE CRUISE HAS RETURNED TO PORT...BUT WE HAVE ONE MORE WAVE TO MAKE! ⚓💙🥫

Friday marked the FINAL day of our Making Waves Against Hunger Commissioners & Cans Spirit Week, and after a week of tropical attire, perfect pairs, orange everything, fishing adventures, food donations, and plenty of beachside fun, we closed things out with our BOARDWALK BASH! 🎡🌴☀️

Our crew pulled out their final beach vacation looks and spent the day searching for seashells on the seashore during our Beachcomber Edition Shell Game! 🐚🔎🌊

Tiny shells were hidden throughout the office, and our beachcombers used their downtime hunting, collecting, competing, and making one final splash before our Spirit Week ship officially sailed back to port. ⚓😂

But while Spirit Week has ended...

🚨🌊 TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY OF OUR 2026 COMMISSIONERS & CANS FOOD & FUND DRIVE! 🌊🚨

That means there is still time for YOU to help us send one last BIG wave of support to the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank! 💙🥫

Every can counts. Every box helps. Every dollar makes an impact.

🥫 DROP OFF A DONATION TODAY!
Bring nonperishable food items to either of our Newport News Commissioner of the Revenue office locations or Virginia Tech Newport News Center.

💙 GIVE ONLINE!
You can also make a monetary donation through our JustGiving campaign:

https://www.justgiving.com/page/nnvacor

Whether you give one can, one bag, one box, or a few dollars, you are joining in helping provide food for families and neighbors throughout our community. 💙

We have spent this month having a LOT of fun, but the mission behind every theme, game, decorated box, donation, and terrible ocean pun has always been the same:

🌊 MAKING WAVES AGAINST HUNGER🌊

So before today's tide rolls out, help us make ONE FINAL SPLASH! 🥫💵🌊

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared our posts, encouraged others to give, and supported Commissioners & Cans this season. We cannot wait to SEA what we accomplished together! 💙🐚⚓
