Project
expanding nationally
The Campus Kitchen at Gonzaga
University has experienced growth and
change throughout 2008, evident through
their willingness to become the lead
organizer for the 2nd Avenue Dinner and
Outreach program. Formerly known as the
SNAP Sack Dinner, the program was in
danger of being permanently discontinued.
However, CKGU responded to the need with
volunteers and enthusiasm. As the
only dinner open to men and women of all
ages, the meal serves as an incentive to get
people in the door, where they can receive
housing referrals, access to health care,
food stamp assistance, bus passes,
clothing and toiletries from local
community partners.
CKGU looks forward to continuing to
build community and expand its outreach
services provided at the 2nd Avenue Dinner
with the help of representatives from
WorkSource Spokane, DSHS and increasing
bus pass availability.

“ The 2nd Avenue Dinner has given Gonzaga students an
opportunity to look beyond their own experiences through
service. Such interactions with clients are invaluable for
both the clients and the students.”

CKP opened three
new Campus Kitchens and
plans to reach at least
25 locations by the
end of 2010!

The Campus Kitchens Project provides
leadership opportunities for students to make
real world impact, training them for the fight
against hunger. We replicate our model
across the nation by making use of campus
kitchen space, donated food and student
service learning.
