HOW YOUR REGISTRATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE:
WILMA Dash is excited to partner with Northside Food Co-Op.
The Northside Food Co-Op’s mission is to increase access to nutritious, affordable food; foster community resiliency; and interrupt the cycle of multigenerational poverty within the Northside Wilmington, North Carolina neighborhood–a historically disenfranchised area that is also a USDA-defined food desert. The Northside Food Co-op will be a full service grocery store, built to meet community needs.
HEALTH FEST AFTER PARTY:
