 Are you looking for a way to send your student some support during exam week? Look no further than the Campus Kitchen Cookie Care Kits! These packages of 10 homemade salted chocolate chip cookies are available for pre-order now and will be delivered to students living on W&L's campus on Monday, April 14. If your student lives off campus, they can pick up their Cookie Care Kit on April 14 in the Mattingly House at W&L. All of the proceeds from the sale of these Cookie Care Kits will go to support the Campus Kitchen Backpack Program, a food relief program that aims to address the meal gap K-12 students on free or reduced lunch in Lexington and Rockbridge face over the weekend. The Campus Kitchen at Washington and Lee is a student organization that addresses food insecurity and food waste in and around Lexington and Rockbridge County. |
