This year Duke University will be participating in President Obama’s “Interfaith Service Challenge” – a year-long commitment to interfaith engagement and community service across college and university campuses – with a focus on food and its many different religious, ethical and cultural implications.

- volunteering at local food pantries, soup kitchens and community gardens
- participating in a campus-wide fast
- packaging food relief boxes during a Martin Luther King, Jr Day “Million Meals” event
- working to alleviate food insecurity in Durham during an interfaith alternative Spring Break
For more information on interfaith programs and how they relate to Food at Duke, contact Christy Lohr Sapp, Associate Dean for Religious Life at christy.lohr@duke.edu or 919-684-2909
