When we focus on the needs of others, we regain perspective on our own circumstances and are given a sense of control of our future. Helping others can diminish our anxiety, build our self-confidence and provide an opportunity to begin a legacy.
The Campus Kitchen at Washington and Lee is one of the many university programs that bring together students, faculty and staff to serve the surrounding community. W&L’s Campus Kitchen volunteers combat hunger and promote nutrition by providing balanced meals for low-income families in Rockbridge County. The program in turn empowers W&L students as leaders in addressing nutrition and hunger issues that millions of people face across the country.
Your charitable contributions are a tangible way you can make a difference in the future of Washington and Lee. Thanks to generous donors like you, we can continue to provide a world-class education that includes life-changing experiences like volunteering for the Campus Kitchen to students with incredible potential to make a difference in the world.
