[edit] History

Nourish International was started as a student group at UNC Chapel Hill under the name "Hunger Lunch" in 2003. The concept for the National Office of Nourish International (NINO) grew out of the idea that we could affect change on a broader level if we could spread Nourish to other universities. The National Office was officially launched in the summer of 2006 and since then its been charged with the task of expansion & helping new chapters learn how to conduct ventures and run summer projects.
