Donate Food!

Here at CKJHU, our operations depend on your constant vigilance in order to prevent the terrible crime of food waste –

In other words, we need you to be our eyes and ears, and as soon as you catch whiff of some leftover food with no place to call home, GIVE US A CALL! We’ll gladly take it…granted that it falls within our health and safety guidelines.

We can be reached night or day through the amazing communication medium that is email (ckjhu@campuskitchens.org)

Also, in times of emergency, you can reach members of our leadership team in the following order:

Aliyah Sanders: (919) 698-3114

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

  • 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!
