About Us
The Campus Kitchen at Northwestern University is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing issues of food waste and hunger in our community. As a part of the national Campus Kitchens Project, we focus on recovering surplus food and transforming it into nutritious meals for those in need.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower students to fight hunger and build healthy communities by engaging them in service-based initiatives. Through our efforts, we strive to reduce food waste, improve food security, and promote sustainable practices.
Services
At The Campus Kitchen at Northwestern University, we offer a range of services to maximize our impact:
- Food Recovery: We partner with local businesses and organizations to rescue surplus food that would otherwise go to waste. Our dedicated volunteers collect, sort, and store the food safely for future use.
- Meal Preparation: We transform the recovered food into healthy and delicious meals in our campus kitchen. Our student volunteers work together to prepare these meals with care and attention to nutritional value.
- Meal Distribution: We collaborate with local shelters, community centers, and other organizations to distribute the prepared meals. By providing direct support to those in need, we aim to make a positive impact on food insecurity in our community.
- Community Engagement: We organize various awareness campaigns, workshops, and educational events to engage the campus and local community in discussions about food waste, hunger, and sustainable practices.
