Taking local hunger issues into their own hands, a group of students at Waynesburg University in Pennsylvania developed and administrate The Corner Cupboard, a nutritional education program for visitors to the area s food bank. Students run twelve three-hour classes for visitors. Each class starts with a guest lecture on issues of health and finance, addressing such topics as how to cook a healthy meal and how to maximize limited purchasing power. This is followed by a cooking project in which students and visitors put their skills to the test. A graduation ceremony at the end of each session solidifies the learning that has taken place and celebrates friendships that have formed.
