Food for All: Meredith's Hunger-Free Initiative
Empowering our community to help fight food insecurity on and off campus
The Office of Student Leadership and Service, Office of the Chaplain, and M.S. in Nutrition are collaborating in 2024-25 to help students more fully understand the extent of food insecurity and work together to address needs within our community, the region, the United States, and beyond.
Feel Good/Do Good Fridays
Every Friday on 2nd Cate from 10a.m-12p.m., come join other like minded students who know the value of service and selfcare! These weekly activities will be casual -you can drop in a bit or stay the whole time. Some days we will focus on mindfulness and reflection, and some days we will work on supporting our fellow Angels. Every third Friday, we will go to the Food Bank of NC to work in their garden or warehhouse. Email: Kacey Reynolds Schedler at klreynolds@meredith.edu with questions.
Drop-in service opportunities start September 6, 10 a.m.-12 p.m.
