What is Meals on Wings?
Meals on Wings is more than just a food delivery service; it's about bridging gaps and fostering unity within the community. UK students recover surplus food from hospitals, transform it into healthy meals, and hand-deliver them to older adults facing challenges in nourishing themselves.
The Impact of Meals on Wings:
Food Recovery: Surplus food from hospitals is repurposed, reducing food waste.
Meal Preparation: Over 75 students volunteer weekly to prepare nutritious meals, gaining valuable skills and friendships.
Delivery: Meals are delivered to community members in need, adding value and gratitude to their lives.
Research and Career Preparation: Students engage in research opportunities, enhancing their future careers.
Why Your Support Matters:
Campus Kitchen's mission is driven by student volunteers. By donating, you contribute to more meals, reduced food waste, and decreased food insecurity. Help make a difference today! uky.networkforgood.com/causes/16861-campus-kitchen-gift-fund
