We all know that the kitchen is the heart of anyone's home. No matter how comfortable you make your living room, the kitchen is where people naturally convene.
The campus kitchen in building J-1 at Glasser/Schoenbaum is the only full-service kitchen on the Campus of Caring. It is where staff convenes for coffee and tea in the mornings, extra food and desserts bring folks in for surprise afternoon snacks, agencies host open houses using the fridge, microwave and oven, and four times a year, the entire campus gets together to eat a meal together.
Our kitchen is easily the unofficial heart of the campus. Thanks to a grant from The Schoenbaum Family Foundation, the kitchen has been updated for the first time in 30 years! We kicked off our new convening-spot with some treats from Nothing Bundt Cakes and - as always - coffee and tea.
The staff at Glasser/Schoenbaum have done a great job of connecting the many organizations on campus and creating a space that sparks collaboration. This sense of community extends to staff and clients alike, helping to break down barriers and leading to innovative ways to serve the community as a whole.
Real estate is one of the greatest costs in a business budget. Our partnership with The Glasser/Schoenbaum Human Services Center allows more money to go towards our mission. And what better place to house our office than on a campus with nineteen other outreach agencies.
As a small organization with a staff of two, employee safety was a big consideration when we were looking for office space. We did not want our employees to be in a place where they were alone. Being on the GSHSC campus has been great because there is a whole community of like-minded professionals.
