The Campus Kitchens Project is an emerging leader in community service for students and resourceful anti-hunger programs for communities around the country. What they do is kind of a no-brainer. They know there are people in every community who need nourishing meals. And, they know that every college campus has unserved food in its dining halls and brilliant students in its classrooms. So they put them all together.
The Campus Kitchens Project empowers thousands of students each year to recycle food from their cafeterias, turn these donations into nourishing meals, and deliver those meals to those who need it most. So far, Campus Kitchens Project is at 28 schools around the country: big schools and small schools; rural and urban; colleges and high schools (well, one high school).
The best part is that students run the whole show. They plan the menus, get the food, run the cooking shifts, organize the drivers, and teach culinary skills to unemployed adults. Then, they keep track of all of the paperwork (so we know everything’s being done safely), organize fundraisers, develop curriculum, and recruit new students to get involved. They accomplish an incredible amount of work every day. And then, they take those skills into their jobs when they graduate from school.
