The UVa chapter of the Campus Kitchens Project has been around for a little over a year, and they've already made an impressive impact on the Charlottesville community in this short time. The group has assembled a large and active network of student volunteers, as well as multiple locations from where they source unserved food (mainly UVa Dining, but also the Local Food Hub) and also serve it: the Salvation Army, Hope House, On Our Own, and The Haven.
The national Campus Kitchens organization is hosting a friendly fundraising competition between the different college chapters, and the kitchens that raise the most funds will move to a "final four" round and be eligible for additional financial assistance from CPK National.
Check out the UVa CKP donate page and consider making a donation to help this worthwhile volunteer effort. They're within sight of reaching their fundraising goal!
