Our 2025 Guilford Bonner first year trip is complete!
Big thanks to all of our freshman, our coordinator, our intern, and !
We visited WNC and partnered with Blunt Kitchen, a nonprofit connected to Blunt Pretzels. Blunt Kitchen started serving the WNC community in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and run on mutual aid, committed volunteers, and donations. Blunt Kitchen is full of amazing and caring people with the consistent believe that food is a human right. Please consider donating or supporting them at their next fundraiser on Saturday May 3 at their Swannanoa location.
Lastly, this was our final trip with our fabulous senior intern Joel. He has helped restructure the power within our Bonner Leaders program and has been a consistent array of support to Bonners of all years. Joel encapsulates joy, leadership, accountability, and support. We are so grateful and proud of him. Thank you Joel!
