I am a first-year student and I work with the Campus Kitchen in the Sabo Center. Through Campus Kitchen, we work to provide food that is healthy and accessible. The Campus Cupboard food shelf is open every weekday, and it\u2019s relieving for many Augsburg students that there\u2019s a place on campus to access free food. Augsburg is quite fortunate to have Campus Kitchen because its students and surrounding comm<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42431 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2020\/04\/Ed.jpg\" alt=\"portrait of Ed Loubaki\" width=\"200\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2020\/04\/Ed.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2020\/04\/Ed-227x300.jpg 227w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">unity get to enjoy meals and fresh produce together. As a Campus Kitchen student employee, I love that we work to reduce food waste on campus and address food insecurity in our community. Campus Kitchen at Augsburg works hard to not only care for Augsburg, but also for the surrounding community at Ebenezer Tower Apartments, Trinity Lutheran Congregation, and the Brian Coyle Community Center.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">My experience at Ebenezer Tower and the Brian Coyle Center has been beyond amazing. It did not take long to bond with community members. Every meal shift brings me joy. Each meal spices up the conversations, and sometimes it\u2019s hard to leave. Hearing laughter here and there makes the job extra fun. At Ebenezer, I get to hear stories that soothe me and help me make better decisions in the future. These seniors are like the grandparents I never had; they make me feel like their own. Brian Coyle, on the other hand, has this energy that is incredible. You just can&#8217;t turn from it. At times, my urge to do work with Campus Kitchen increases because it doesn\u2019t even feel like work &#8211; it feels like a great meal with friends and family. I\u2019m looking forward to the time when we can gather again in-person to enjoy food and conversation together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because of the stay at home order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, student employees of the Sabo Center are &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":99,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/99"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42430"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42430\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43152,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42430\/revisions\/43152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/sabo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
