For the Community

New Hanover County School Lunch Assistance Fund

We believe no child should go hungry at school. We understand that families struggle and that existing free and reduced lunch programs are often inadequate. Our Founder and CEO is supporting a local effort to pay off student lunch debt for those who are struggling. Funds are managed entirely separately and without an administration fee except that received by Go Fund Me.

If you or someone you know needs school lunch debt relief for a student of New Hanover County Schools, you can apply by clicking below. Every effort will be made to keep this entirely anonymous.

There is a petition circulating to protect NHC Students from the burden of school lunch debt. You can sign by clicking the button below.

Request PPE

Our Cape Fear OSMS (Open Source Medical Supplies) project has provided over 40,000 medical supply items—most free of charge—to keep everyone safe from COVID-19. At present, we are unable to ship and are locally delivering only in Southeastern NC. Community nonprofits, schools, essential workers, healthcare providers, or others in need may request PPE or DIY medical substitutes. Requests are subject to availability in this volunteer effort.
