Students in the Global Nutrition class taught by DGHI faculty member Sara Benjamin Neelon, organized a local service project this month to benefit the Inter-Faith Council for Social Services (IFC).
The students in the service-learning class collected travel-size toiletries from friends, and staff and faculty at the Duke Global Health Institute, to make hygiene kits for IFC. The effort was a major success, with enough toiletries to assemble 35 kits.
Inter-Faith Council for Social Services is a nonprofit organization that address the significant gaps that exist in the community. The small group of staff and volunteers provide basic services to combat poverty, hunger and homelessness in Chapel Hill and Carrboro.
In the past, students from the class have done other service projects, including filling backpacks with food for school children in Durham.
