Community Meals

Community Meals are a way for all residents of the Village community - from all walks of life and with all different backgrounds - to meet each other and celebrate sustainability in one of the most basic and universal settings: the kitchen. The Village is the only large on-campus housing option that has a community kitchen (located in the F-Quad), and it is here that students meet three nights a week for community meals.

Students take advantage of PICA's bulk food supplies and the garden to provide the ingredients - and that's where the creativity begins!! Students come together as fellow cooks to teach each other new recipes and to add new spins to old ones. Students are able to engage in conversation together and build community through sharing food.
