About The Campus Kitchen

Discover The Campus Kitchen at Auburn University, a prominent organization dedicated to addressing food insecurity and promoting sustainability in the community. With a strong focus on eCommerce & Shopping, The Campus Kitchen has become a pillar of support for individuals and families in need.

Our Mission

At The Campus Kitchen, our mission is to reduce food waste and fight hunger in the Auburn University community. Through strategic partnerships and innovative programs, we aim to provide meals to those in need while also promoting sustainable practices and empowering individuals to take control of their well-being.

Programs and Initiatives

1. Meal Distribution

One of our key initiatives is the distribution of nutritious meals to individuals and families facing food insecurity. Our dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to prepare and deliver meals using locally sourced ingredients, ensuring that each recipient receives a balanced and wholesome meal.

2. Community Gardens

In an effort to promote sustainability, we have established community gardens where fresh produce is cultivated. These gardens not only provide a source of nutritious food but also serve as educational spaces where community members can learn about organic farming and gardening techniques.

3. Cooking Workshops

As part of our commitment to empowering individuals, we organize cooking workshops that focus on budget-friendly and nutritious meal preparation. Through these workshops, participants gain valuable skills and knowledge, enabling them to make healthier food choices while sticking to their financial constraints.

4. Food Recovery

To combat food waste, we collaborate with local businesses and restaurants to recover surplus food that would otherwise go to waste. By redistributing this food to those in need, we can make a significant impact on reducing food insecurity in our community.

How We Make a Difference

Addressing Food Insecurity

By providing nutritious meals through our meal distribution program, we are taking tangible steps to address food insecurity in the Auburn University community. Through partnerships with local organizations, we identify individuals and families who are most in need, ensuring that no one goes to sleep hungry.

Promoting Sustainability

Our community gardens and emphasis on locally sourced ingredients promote sustainable practices, reducing the carbon footprint associated with food production and transportation. By cultivating our own produce, we minimize our reliance on external suppliers, leading to a more environmentally conscious approach to food provision.

Empowering Individuals and Communities

Through cooking workshops, we equip individuals with the necessary skills to prepare healthy meals while staying within their budgets. By sharing tips on meal planning, ingredient substitutions, and smart shopping, we empower individuals to make informed choices that positively impact their health and overall well-being.
