The Campus Kitchen at UMass Boston

Do you aspire to work with an innovative nonprofit organization? Are you passionate about fighting hunger, both on a local and global scale? If you were asked to pick between awesome food and awesome people, would you be torn giving an answer? The Campus Kitchens Project is a national leader in community service for students and is the future of hunger relief. Our program is empowering the next generation of leaders to implement innovative models for combating hunger, developing food systems, and helping communities help themselves. We partner with high schools, colleges, and universities to share on-campus kitchen space, recover food from cafeterias, and engage students as volunteers who prepare and deliver meals to the community. Student and community volunteers develop partnerships, plan menus, run cooking shifts, organize drivers, garden, glean, and teach nutrition education to children and families. They keep track of all of the paperwork (so we know everything’s being done safely), organize fundraisers, develop curriculum, and recruit more people to get involved.

Mission: The Campus Kitchens Project (CKP) is a national leader in community service for students and is the future of hunger relief. CKP is empowering the next generation of leaders to implement innovative models for combating hunger, developing food systems and helping communities help themselves.
