Does the institution donate leftover or surplus food?:
A brief description of the food donation program:
The Campus Kitchen at Wake Forest is a food "recycling" program that takes prepared but never served food from the campus dining hall and assembles healthy and nutritious meals for members of our community living in food poverty. Our Campus Kitchen has quite a history. It grew out of a student-run program called Homerun started by two Wake Forest Juniors in 1999. Karen Borchert and Jessica Jackson went on to start the national program called “The Campus Kitchens Project.”
Through a partnership with ARAMARK, we are able to repurpose an average of 600 pounds of food every month - food that is prepared but never served on campus and that would otherwise go to waste.
Our food is distributed by local social service agencies in Winston-Salem. These agencies use our food as a resource so that they can allocate existing but limited resources to increase their services to the communities they serve.
