Faces of Food Insecurity

Spring Break Wilmington Service Experience

Wilmington, North Carolina

Saturday, March 5th, 2022 - Friday, March 11th, 2022

Join OSLE Staff and fellow students as we experience Wilmington in a new way over Spring Break! Students participating in the service break experience will:

• Get off campus and outside the UNCW bubble to learn more about their Wilmington community, including the histories and various experiences of residents other than UNCW students
• Understand the issue of food insecurity and how it effects various communities in Wilmington (including college students), and intersects with other public health needs
• Meet and learn from community leaders serving Wilmington residents by providing better access to healthy, fresh foods 
• Serve the Wilmington community by volunteering throughout the week with various Wilmington organizations

Activities for the week include:

• Cost is $150 per student, which includes lodging, transportation, materials, and meals. Payment plans are available!
• Participants MUST be available for the entire week's activities, and participate in pre-trip meetings as much as possible. Pre-Trip meetings will take place once per week starting the week of February 14th leading up to spring break.
