The Wellness Infusion Initiative is a campus-wide initiative that seeks to infuse wellness into campus culture at Wilson Community College. The project aims to increase student and employee access to wellness resources through the establishment of a campus food pantry and recreation library. These resources will be accompanied by promotional community outreach events and educational opportunities.

- Students may visit the pantry once per week to receive a bag of food.
