The week is ending and so is my time only talking about shifts. Next week, we are going to be a fully operational Campus Kitchen! I’m thrilled to start executing policies and procedures I’ve only read about; I’ve been told that the paperwork will make more sense once we’re in the kitchen and on site. I sure hope so.
I’m trying to be as prepared as possible for the unknown. My volunteers are lined up, my shift paperwork is in order, and I’ve drafted an initial e-mails to my brave students about every little detail I can think to include for the shifts. My pins are lined up, I just need to knock ‘em down. It’s a waiting game now…
Meanwhile, we have the food drive happening. It’s been slow to start (as many new programs are on campus), but I’m hopeful that after the student e-blast is sent out, I’ll have more success. Perhaps this is a campus where food drives don’t work? Any suggestions? (Our donation boxes are really cute — look for them in an upcoming post!)
This afternoon, I’m supposed to meet with several local grocers about food recovery. Despite the many applications to fill out, it’s a chance for me to be in the community and showcase what CKUMB does. I’m pretty excited about it.
Don’t forget to bring in your canned goods for the food drive & have a great weekend!
