Angel Tree is an annual initiative to provide holiday gifts to children at the Boys and Girls Homes of NC at Lake Waccamaw. Children who come to the Boys and Girls Homes have suffered abuse or neglect and are considered susceptible to high risk behaviors. The Angel Tree collection is an opportunity to provide children in their foster care program with gifts during the holidays.    Want to sponsor a child this year? Upon completion of the registration form below, you will be sent a wish list for the child/children in foster care to purchase gifts for. We typically receive gift information in batches from the Boys & Girls Homes of NC, so it may take us up to three (3) business days to send out your shopping list.   We ask that you please spend approximately $100 per child; this will likely be the only gift this child will receive this holiday and many of the children have never received a holiday gift before. The wrapped, new gifts will need to be dropped off Tuesday, December 2 and Wednesday, December 3 between 8am – 5pm in the Sunset Beach Room (room 1025) of the Fisher Student Center.

We realize how challenging it can be to focus on your studies if you are worried about the basic necessities - like how to pay for food. At Hawk’s Harvest, our goal is to make food available for UNCW students who are experiencing food insecurity*, no questions asked. So stop by and grab some groceries during our shopping hours – we have all your favorites on hand, like mac ‘n cheese, pasta, cereal and more.   *Food insecurity is the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods, or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways.   (Definition is from the Life Sciences Research Office, S.A. Andersen, ed., "Core Indicators of Nutritional State for Difficult to Sample Populations," The Journal of Nutrition 120:1557S-1600S, 1990.)   For more information and campus and community resources, check out our website HERE!Hosted by: Hawk's Harvest Food PantryAdditional Information can be found at: https://uncw.campuslabs.com/engage/event/11410942
