Welcome to Oxfam America Club at VT

You may have visited this site with a simple question: What is Oxfam at Virginia Tech?

We’re a campus club chapter of Oxfam America, an international relief organization committed to finding lasting solutions to hunger, poverty, and injustice. And we need every Hokie to do it. We want to lead other universities by example in our efforts to tap into the Virginia Tech giving spirit that makes us the number one collegiate fundraiser in the country.

There’s only one requirement to join our club at any point during the semester: You have to want to do something about the hunger and poverty crisis around the world.

We need Hokies of all disciplines and talents to reach our goals. We have raised over $12,000 for Oxfam America, microloans, international crises, and a well in Zoranger, Haiti. This year, we’re looking to double that. Our Kiva team has surpassed $6,000 and we’re still going!

You can also support our causes by donating through our donate button.

Check out our upcoming meetings, co-sponsored events, and news in international aid in our posts below.

Thanks for visiting. Join the fight. Be the impact.

Food drive this weekend!

Hello Oxfam Hokies!
This weekend Saturday, January 28th and Sunday, January 29th as well as next Saturday, February 4th we are going to have a local canned food drive from 9am to 9pm! We will be located outside both the University City Mall Kroger, as well as the Kroger on South Main St. Sign up to volunteer using this Doodle poll. We really need as many people as possible to help! We’ll be partnering with another organization, Chi Delta Alpha, to make this event a resounding success.
