Alternative Fall Break: Asheville, NC – Fall 2025

Theme: Food Insecurity

Dates: October 13–17, 2025

Reimagine your break.

Join us for an immersive, week-long service-learning experience in Asheville, North Carolina. Instead of a taking a traditional vacation, you'll engage directly with local organizations tackling food insecurity and economic inequality—while exploring your own role in creating lasting change.

Community Partnerships

Students will collaborate with organizations including:

• Bounty & Soul and Root Cause Farm – supporting food distribution, farm work, and community gardening.
• Asheville Poverty Initiative – engaging in conversations about poverty and equity, and participating in initiatives like the 12 Baskets Café, which transforms surplus food into opportunities for shared meals and community building.

Reflective Learning

Reflection is at the heart of the Alternative Break experience. Through daily group discussions, journaling, and guided activities, students will:

• Connect hands-on service to broader social issues.
• Explore their own values and perspectives on poverty, justice, and equity.
• Identify ways to apply their learning back on campus and in their communities.

This program is available for CURRENT Central Piedmont Students that demonstrate the drive to give back to our state community, open to learn and reflect.  Lodging, meals, and local transportation are included. 

There is a $25.00 application fee - Sign up here
