Alicia has a passion for helping the community, especially the youth (she’s also a volunteer in WPC’s After School Youth Group). Her passion for the community led her to co-found Wrightsville For All in 2023 – a civic organization that quickly became a key partner with WPC as we reach out locally. Alicia spent 15 years in restaurant management and catering, a perfect background for her work coordinating volunteers, fundraising and meal prep – as well as making sure that every person that walks into Fellowship Hall for Summer Lunch knows they belong.
