CKUK Shifts
Campus Kitchen is composed of a variety of shifts in which volunteers can contribute to different parts of our efforts to reduce food insecurity both on campus and in the Lexington community. CKUK is only able to operate though the support of our volunteers and the work they do during each each shift. Check out the shifts below and learn how to get involved with Campus Kitchen today!
Food Recovery
Food is recovered from a variety of sources within the Lexington Community, including Farmers' Markets, restaurants, local farms, Whole foods, and newly added, Kroger and God's Pantry. As well as on campus dining facilities, such as The Fresh Food Company and Starbucks. Volunteers can help collect items being donated and deliver them back to our kitchen on campus.
Processing and Cooking
Volunteers can take part in the preparation of meals that will later be distributed to those in need through two shifts: the Cooking and Processing Shifts. Each of these occur multiple times a week and work to combine recovered, fresh foods into a healthy, well-balanced meal.
Meal Delivery
Meals that volunteers have created are then delivered and served to a variety of places across Lexington and on campus. Campus Kitchen created the Farm-to-Fork program to give free meals to students on campus each Wednesday and this is just one of our many delivery options that volunteers are essential for.
