Campus Kitchen Project

On Thursday, Oct. 22, student volunteers in 20 cities across the
nation will prepare and deliver the one-millionth meal to neighbors in
need through The Campus Kitchens Project, a national student-powered
hunger relief organization.

The Campus Kitchens Project partners with high schools, colleges and
universities to share on-campus kitchen space, recover unused food
from cafeterias, work with local farms for produce and engage students
as volunteers who plan menus, prepare and deliver meals to the
community.

"There are people in every community that need nourishing meals. And
every college campus has un-served food in its dining facilities and
eager students in its classrooms. At Campus Kitchens, we put them all
together," said Robert Egger, founder of DC Central Kitchen, which
created The Campus Kitchens Project. "It's exciting to see this
milestone reached."

Since 2001, the Campus Kitchens Project (CKP) has provided healthy
meals to their neighbors in need by harnessing the spirit of student
volunteerism within local communities. Now in its eighth year, CKP
operates on 20 college and high school campuses, providing meals to
individuals and families in their communities.

Thanks to the support of Sodexo, General Mills and the Corporation for
National and Community Service, Campus Kitchens continues to grow.
