The Campus Kitchen

Campus Kitchens in Cataldo works with students to prepare and serve people in the community.

Overview

The Campus Kitchen is a hunger relief program that focuses on food recovery, eliminating waste, and building community. The program collects all of the leftover food from campus dining and utilizes student volunteers to re-purpose that food into healthy meals that get delivered to low-income senior housing, after school programs, and shelters in the Spokane community.

Since 2005 the Campus Kitchen has:

  • Recovered 124,000+ pounds of food
  • Grown 4,000+ pounds of produce
  • Served 340,000 meals

The Campus Kitchen currently has 76 volunteers preparing and serving meals at Logan Elementary, The O’Malley Senior Center and Gonzaga Family Haven.
