A Campus Kitchen is an on-campus student service program that is a member of the nonprofit organization, The Campus Kitchens Project. At a Campus Kitchen, students use on-campus kitchen space and donated food from their cafeterias to prepare and deliver nourishing meals to their communities. The organization is headquartered in Washington, D.C. on the campus of Gonzaga College High School. There are currently 45 Campus Kitchens, located in Saint Louis, Missouri; Greater Chicago, Illinois; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Spokane, Washington; Mankato, Minnesota; Washington, D.C.; Lexington, Virginia; Winston-Salem, North Carolina; Kearney, Nebraska; Williamsburg, Virginia; Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; and more (see full list of Campus Kitchens below). == Operations == * Each Campus Kitchen is hosted by a school who shares space in one dining hall’s kitchen, which is termed the “Campus Kitchen.” (Usually, this space is used during less busy or off-hours for the dining hall, such as evenings and weekends.) * Students go to dining halls and cafeterias at designated times to pick up unserved, usable food. (The dining services companies who donate are protected from liability concerns under the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act.) * Students prepare meals using that donated food, as well as food from local food banks, restaurants, grocery stores and farmers markets. * Then, students deliver meals free of charge to individuals and agencies in the school’s neighboring community in need of food assistance. Agencies include homeless shelters, food banks, soup kitchens, and individuals or families in need of food assistance. * Student volunteers also provide empowerment-based education to clients, such as nutrition education to children, healthy cooking classes to families and culinary job training to unemployed adults. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Campus Kitchen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
