Campus Kitchen at UGA Turkeypalooza Food Drive

CKUGA is a student-powered hunger relief program of the UGA Office of Service-Learning designed to simultaneously address senior hunger and food waste through the power of student volunteerism.

Turkeypalooza is an annual event where Campus Kitchen provides over 1,500 Thanksgiving meals for local seniors and their families. Last year, we were able to collect over 3,000 items thanks to our community partners and provide 205 bags with the ingredients for Thanksgiving dishes, along with 175 prepared meals. This year we’re back as a team of the Foodbank of Northeast GA’s Hunger Bowl as we team up with UGA student organizations, UGA offices, and local businesses to go above and beyond our regular meals to our friends at the Athens Community Council on Aging. Thanks for your contribution, and Happy Thanksgiving!!!
