Mission: To use service as a tool to strengthen bodies by using existing resources to meet hunger and nutritional needs in our community; empower minds by providing leadership and service learning opportunities to students and educational benefits to adults, seniors, children, and families in need; and build communities by fostering a new generation of community-minded adults through resourceful and mutually beneficial partnerships among students, social service agencies, businesses and schools.
Programs: Founded in 2001, the campus kitchens project is the national program of renowned local nonprofit and social enterprise, dc central kitchen. On 63 university and high school campuses across the country, students transform unused food from dining halls, grocery stores, restaurants, and farmers' markets into meals for their community. Because food alone will never end hunger, campus kitchens also develop innovative local solutions that go 'beyond the meal and target hunger's root causes. Running a campus kitchen builds leadership skills, offers entrepreneurial opportunities, and fosters personal and community relationships that students both use today and carry with them into future careers. During 2018, ckp engaged more than 32,000 students who have provided more than 72,000 volunteer hours recycling approximately 1 million pounds of food and preparing/delivering more than 375,000 meals.
