How about open a Campus Kitchen?

For all the recognition we’ve been getting ranging from our award winning volunteers to coverage by NPR, our students continue to impress their communities. Just a few weeks ago, another university that is working towards opening a Campus Kitchen was recognized by a local community group.

The Seven Society, a organization based in Charlottesville gave a grant of $11,000.77 to the Campus Kitchen that will be starting at UVA. Read about it here.

UVA has been working hard to start a Campus Kitchen for over two years now. The work that has been done by students, led by Ayisha Memon, Caroline Nettles, Krystal Boitnott and John Bankson has been impressive. Their hard work is finally paying off, 11,000 different ways.
