Twelve Middlebury students will be traveling to Washington, DC over February break as part of a Middlebury Alternative Break (MAlt) trip. Our trip seeks to explore the impacts of food access on livelihood. We will be partnering with various food access non-profits to learn about the most recent and effective innovations in modern food sustainability. 

Through our work with these organizations, we will work in solidarity with communities vulnerable to unsustainable food systems in Washington, DC. MAlt is a student organization that provides student-designed and student-led service trips for Middlebury College students. MAlt offers opportunities for students to participate in strong direct service that seeks to address needs as determined by a local community partner. 

MAlt is committed to a needs-blind acceptance policy. As a result, we do extensive fundraising to ensure that participants’ financial needs can be met. We all work together to support one another, which is why this fundraiser is so critical to our efforts.
