I do not know what project we will be doing but it may or may not be messy, so wear comfortable clothes and closed toe shoes. Please contact Jennifer Seger (jfs13@duke.edu) to RSVP and fill out a consent form. By volunteering at the Durham Food Bank, you make a tangible contribution to your community. For every hour worked by volunteers at the Food Bank, 317 pounds of food is distributed to our network of partner agencies who serve the 400,000 people at risk of hunger in our service area.

Center for Environmental Farming Systems
North Carolina State University, North Carolina A&T State University, and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture work closely with state and federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, farmers, and citizens to provide agricultural research, extension, and education for our state. The development of CEFS is a national model for partnership, innovation, and interdisciplinary cooperation. UNC-CH Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, Dr. Alice Ammerman
Priorities of the CHPDP include cardiovascular disease, nutrition, and physical activity, among others, through applied research, demonstration projects, and education. Professor Ammerman’s research focuses on school nutrition policy associated with childhood obesity, sustainable agriculture and social entrepreneurship as a sustainable approach to addressing public health concerns.
