Aramark Community Teaching Kitchen
Our Mission
The Aramark Community Teaching Kitchen is an interactive health hub where Temple students and community members come to learn, cook, and connect.
Through hands-on classes, collaborative projects, and evidence-based nutrition education, we’re building culinary confidence, addressing food insecurity, and empowering our community with the skills to improve health and well-being.
