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.
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.
Collaboration is key to the success of our work. The Campus of Caring is a unique space where we can easily join forces with other agencies to make the best use of our resources and maximize our community impact. The affordable rent allows us to allocate more funds to our mission of transforming the lives of students and their families.
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.
