Give Back - Were you aware that the non-profit organization Nourish NC is located right here in New Hanover County? They work tirelessly to alleviate childhood hunger throughout our area. One of the biggest problems occurs when school children who receive free or reduced meals are on long school breaks, such as during the holidays. Please consider making a donation in your name or as a gift in someone else’s. We encourage you to read about their work here and see that for as little as $45.00 you can purchase a holiday box which will provide 3 meals per day over the 16-day December break! http://www.nourishnc.org/
