CKUMB Core Programs
Food Recovery: CKUMB, part of the Campus Kitchens Project, a national nonprofit organization, partners with on-campus dining and local resources to rescue unserved, usable food, reducing waste for donors and food costs for meal recipients
Hunger Relief: Our hunger relief program has two essential components:
- Meal Delivery: Volunteers use donated food and an on-campus kitchen to prepare meals that are delivered to the community.
- Beyond Meals Initiatives: Volunteers engage underserved youth in nutrition education and hands-on gardening.
