Learn more about The Campus Kitchen at Gonzaga University! This hunger relief program 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
INSTAGRANT UPDATE
When we heard that American Childhood Cancer Organization Inland Northwest needed to restock their "Poke" Box at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital, we knew we could help with an InstaGrant.
This treasure box brings a smile to children receiving a painful procedure or “poke” (like getting their port accessed, blood draw, or spinal tap).
Thank you for making this InstaGrant possible with your contribution to WHWF!
