Congratulations to Elon University DPT and student physical therapists Sixela Caballero and Sadie Thompson who also received one of our Community Impact Challenge monetary awards for Health Outreach Program of Elon (HOPE), which is a partnership with the CityGate Dream Center to develop a food pantry providing culturally appropriate food options for the community- CIC applications are open now and due on this Friday, November 14: https://www.aptanc.org/dei

With support from the APTA North Carolina Community Impact Challenge, students launched a culturally relevant food pantry to better serve the Latine community. The grant provided funding to purchase food items from March through June 2025, including rice, beans, Maseca, PAN, eggs, pasta, vegetables, canned meats, and other staples. The goal was to create a community where every family has access to food that reflects their culture, supports their health, and fosters a sense of belonging.

The pantry emphasizes providing culturally familiar foods while empowering families to prepare meaningful, nourishing meals. Patients visiting the HOPE Clinic now have access to this on-site resource, which links rehabilitation services with essential social supports. Addressing social determinants of health—such as nutrition and access to resources—remains a priority for these students. Today, the HOPE Clinic food pantry continues to operate successfully, with 98% of users reporting easy access to culturally familiar foods.
