Group protests closure of Colorado College kitchen
Colorado College students and community members spoke out Sunday against the closing of the community kitchen in Shove Memorial Chapel outside the chapel.
The Colorado College Community Kitchen Club, located in the Shove Memorial Chapel, has served a hot, free meal every Sunday since its start in April 1992. It’s scheduled to close Nov. 16.
The model behind the Kitchen is to reduce barriers between guests and volunteers, to promote awareness of issues within the community, and to allow guests and volunteers an opportunity to voice their opinions and concerns. The Kitchen provides up to 200 meals each week and serves as a pivotal resource for community members in need. Food is donated by various businesses and prepared by volunteers.
