MLK Day is a day of service where hundreds of Baylor students pour into the community while developing
leadership skills and building relationships. Once a year,
Campus Kitchens joins with other organizations on campus for a weekend of preparation for the Martin Luther
King, Jr. Day of Service.
On this day, Campus Kitchens served the ones who
served by providing them with a nourishing lunch; and
as you can imagine, feeding that many hungry students
required weeks of planning ahead and several days in the
kitchen.
During the fall semester before MLK Day, the Campus
Kitchen executive team decided on a menu and time table
for the actual weekend of preparation in the kitchen.
Our volunteer coordinator, Abby Miller, arranged with
other service and Greek organizations to serve during our

During high school I was extremely involved in different areas of service. When I came
to college I felt a void in my life,
because I was not doing something
to pour into the people around me.
As a freshman, I was unsure
of how to get involved without
overwhelming myself, especially
during the transition into life as a
college student. To make matters
worse, I came to college without a Kimberly Woo
car.
Baylor Freshman
It was much more difficult for and Campus Kitchen
me to participate in the many Volunteer
amazing opportunities Baylor has
for service off of campus.
My sister, a senior at Baylor, told me to look into Campus Kitchen. Its on campus location was very convenient for me, and its flexible schedule made it easy for
me to fit it into my own schedule.
At first I was unsure of what to expect because this
form of service was so different than the more personal,
hands-on service that I was used to. I soon realized that I
could still make a big impact on the community with just
two hours a week.
Campus Kitchen gives me an opportunity to give back
to the community that has poured so much into Baylor
and its students. Volunteering at Campus Kitchen is a
super easy way that students can get involved and give
back to the community.
Many shy away from helping out because they say
that they cannot cook. However, you do not have to be
a master chef to help out. Many times we are assigned
little tasks like cutting vegetables, washing dishes or
even making the staple food of our childhood: Mac and
Cheese.
Combining all these simple tasks, we are able to create
a great meal that will help keep more families from going
hungry. In the end, the little things truly do make a big
difference.
On other college campuses, many students are involved in Campus Kitchen. Those students are able to
make hundreds of meals for people in need. At Baylor
the organization is much smaller, but it attracts a small
group of committed volunteers.
In the Waco community, there is a great need for meals
and help. Campus Kitchen would be able to help so many
more people if they had more volunteers and more supplies. Campus Kitchen is a great organization that is very
easy to get involved in.
Meeting twice a week for two hours each, its flexible
hours allow volunteers to come and go as they please.
Also, its on campus location makes it convenient for students to help out while they are still on campus.
