FAQ

What do I wear?

Long pants, closed-toe shoes. No tank-tops and no sleeveless shirts. No jewelry, watches, or bracelets. Long hair up in a bun or short ponytail.

Can I bring a friend?

Of course! Send them the link to our web page so they can sign up too!

Do I need to have any type of training beforehand?

Currently you get training during your first shift. We may need to add “training shifts” later, but we haven’t done that yet.

Could you please tell me where it is located?

We use the kitchen in the food-court of the Information Systems building. We also use the SIDE door to enter, since the cafeteria is usually closed during our cooking shifts. If you’re a Wake student, this is the building you picked up you laptop from. See our map.

Can I sign up for just one time? Can I sign up for a weekly shift?

Yes. And yes. Here’s the deal: Come out and see if you like the CK. If you want to come every week you can. But it’s not required. No obligation. You can tell us you’d like to attend a shift regularly, and we can add you to the schedule. Or you can sign up more sporadically.

I don’t know much about your program. What are the details?

If you like any of the following: cooking, helping people, not wasting food, hanging out with friends, or being part of a greater good, the Campus Kitchen is for you. We prepare meals and deliver them to the nearby community. Anyone can help. If you know how to cook you can teach others – if you don’t then we’ll teach you! If you have a car, great! If not then just ride with us.

How do I get my group involved with the Campus Kitchen?

Please tell us before bringing your group out. We would love the help but we want to help maximize your impact. We can reserve a day for you so everyone has something to do and you can work as a team. E-mail us with the basic information about your group (who you are, what you do, how big the group is). We’ll contact you with further details.
