You can help the college celebrate this milestone Sunday.

Colorado College’s Community Kitchen, one of the oldest student-run community kitchens in the nation, will celebrate its 20th anniversary from noon to 4 p.m., on Sunday, April 15, at Shove Memorial Chapel, 1010 N. Nevada Ave. The meal will be served at 1:30 p.m., and the Colorado Springs community is invited to join in the meal and the celebration.The kitchen will commemorate its anniversary with local bands, speakers on homelessness and poverty and a picnic-style meal
Since 1992, the kitchen has provided a hot meal to the city’s hungry and homeless 52 Sundays a year, including summer, winter, Thanksgiving, spring and all block breaks, with students often staying on campus to help operate the kitchen.
