Passion for Her Community

Personal experience drove Tiffany Turner to give back to her community.

Personal experience drove Tiffany Turner to give back to her community.

Most Mondays for the past four years, Tiffany Turner ’18 could be found sorting cans and packing food boxes at a local nonprofit. She did this because alleviating food insecurity is a passion born from personal experience.

As a Bonner Leader, Buckley Public Service Scholar participant and an inaugural Scott D. MacDonald Community Service Fellow, Turner exemplifies the essence of Carolina community involvement through her passions for service, teaching others the value of healthy eating, and providing scholarships and opportunities to undocumented students.
