Kick Off with a Super Cool Panel Discussion!

Team Up for an Epic Volunteer Adventure!

After we’ve fueled up on knowledge, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and become superheroes for a day! Join forces with three incredible nonprofits—Feeding Charlotte, FeedNC, and Rise Against Hunger—for a massive volunteer experience that’s all about making a difference. We’ll work together, laugh together, and build solutions as a team, with logistics powered by the awesome folks at Move For Hunger to keep everything running smoothly! And don’t worry about the vibe—a rockin’ DJ will keep the tunes pumping to keep the energy soaring! From tiny tots to grown-ups, everyone gets to be a part of this action-packed, heartwarming mission.

This is more than an event—it’s a chance for families and friends to bond, have a blast, and make the world a better place.
