Abstract
UNC Flourish is a project of SHAC, the UNC student-run free health clinic. Flourish strives to equip low-income individuals and families with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to eat well. Our hope is that through cooking and nutrition classes as well as individualized wellness coaching, Flourish participants learn to incorporate healthy eating into their lives. As they serve their community, student volunteers will see first hand the challenges many individuals face to making healthy choices and will develop a greater level of understanding and knowledge that they can use to help others as future physicians, nutritionists, nurses, and more.
