Free Meals Via Bike

With summer kicking off, the Campus Kitchen Project can use:

1) A bike trailer. Joel Enright, our summer intern, is a cycler in the truest sense. He and I would like to keep it that way, and are working to make Campus Kitchen food deliveries fully bikeable. First, we need a trailer that can haul large boxes. A kid's trailer would do the trick. We accept donations, but can purchase one if necessary. Do you have one buried in the garage?

2) Volunteers. With the campus fairly deserted and our student volunteers mostly gone, we could really use help cooking and making deliveries. Please consider using your free time, as well as your 16 hours of paid community time, to assist Campus Kitchen to serve our 1,500 meals each month. You could even do it by bike!

Our schedule:

Cooking, Mondays, 7 - 9 p.m. - at Augsburg College
Delivery, Tuesdays, 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. - at the Brian Coyle Community Center
Cooking, Wednesdays, 7 - 9 p.m. - at Augsburg College
Delivery, Thursdays, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. - at Peace House homeless shelter
Delivery, Thursdays, 3 - 5:30 p.m. - to seniors who live independently
Cook/Deliver, 1st, 3rd, 5th Sundays, 5:30 - 9:30 p.m. - to Secure Waiting homeless shelter
