Donate Food!

AT CKJHU we depend on donated food to continue operations, help us in our mission to help prevent food waste!

If you know that your organization, company, student group etc. is hosting a catered event and you anticipate having extra food, PLEASE give us a call or e-mail us beforehand so we can plan to come to your event and pick up the extra food!

Please call during business hours:

Campus Kitchens office: 410-516-4843 or email us at ckjhu@campuskitchens.org

If you are a store, restaurant, company, grocery store etc. and want to donate food to us, please e-mail or call us to discuss Campus Kitchens picking up food! Help us prevent food from going to waste!

What Will We Take?

We can accept (but are certainly not limited to) the following items:

  • Fresh products such as produce, meat, and dairy
  • Bread and pastries
  • Ready-made food such as sandwiches
  • Frozen foods
  • Spreads such as Cream cheese, butter, peanut butter, and jelly
  • Cooked foods that are in separated containers and have been cooked and cooled according to standard regulations (For Example, a pan of cooked chicken is OK, but not a pan of cooked chicken and rice in the same container)

We do not accept:

  • Food that has been reheated
  • Food from a buffet line
  • Food that has gone outside of its temperature guidelines
  • Containers of mixed cooked foods

Other Donations

If you would like to make any other form of contribution, be it spare change, surplus kitchen towels, or that inexplicable accumulation of ketchup packets in your pantry, please don’t hesitate to contact us at ckjhu@campuskitchens.org.

Any and all of your generous donations will go to support our anti-hunger efforts!

Thanks and Have a Nice Day!
