MLK Day Grants from Campus Kitchens

Posted by on August 13, 2010

The Campus Kitchens Project (CKP), through funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), is proud to provide funding opportunities for schools to develop campus and community projects that will honor Dr. King’s legacy of service.  CKP has been selected to bring college students and the community together to address pressing social issues by engaging youth, the elderly and underserved populations in volunteerism with local community groups and Campus Kitchens.

Grants will be awarded for up to $2,000 for Campus Kitchens and community partners to host a MLK Day of Service program on Monday, January 17, 2011 with an emphasis placed on recruiting volunteers from community-based organizations and disadvantaged youth.  Funds may also be used to develop a semester of service program, kick-off of a new Campus Kitchen or build an organization’s volunteer base through one-time service events.  All schools within the CKP network, schools developing a Campus Kitchen, and community partners are eligible for funding.
